The Mayor of Prescot’s ‘Back to School Help Fund’

Today (18th May 2021) saw the creation of The Mayor of Prescot’s ‘Back to School Help Fund’ as the Mayor of Prescot, Cllr Mark Burke distributed gift cards for 100 pairs of School shoes to Prescot’s 5 Primary Schools. This is a brand new fund that the Mayor has been able to create due to your generosity in supporting the Mayor of Prescot’s fundraising efforts over the last 12 months which have exceeded all expectations in this time of crisis.

Prescot Town Council already operate a highly successful school uniform recycle scheme. However the Mayor noticed that very few school shoes were being recycled as the children wear them out so quickly. Each school can now distribute the gift cards to those who are currently in most need.

The Mayor also presented each school with gift cards for Urban Kingz MMA for free lessons for those children who may need a confidence boost or help with discipline or fitness. Again this is a brand new scheme to help our most vulnerable children.

Thank you all for your support!
