For Children’s Mental Health Week in February, pupils at the primary school were also encouraged to create friendship bracelets with kits provided by the developer.
In 2023, David Wilson Homes also donated £1,200 to support the Corby Glen Sheep Fair, a partnership which is being rekindled this year.
