Safeguard the future of West Dean Pre school

West Dean Pre School has been a key part of the local community for the last thirty years. Throughout that time it’s seen multiple children come and go through its doors. Parents often talk about how WDPS’ gives a home from home feeling and is a deeply nurturing environment for their children.

WDPS’ is run as a registered charity. Whilst they offer parents funded places for children, this means that it receives no further government funding and all other profit is gained solely from fees and charitable donations. It’s managed by a committee of parents who volunteer their valuable personal time.

Whilst WDPS is deeply cherished by the parents and children associated with it. Its current home of a mobile cabin has of course suffered wear and tear over the past years & is now coming to the end of its lifespan.

Past and present committees have made ongoing efforts to fundraise for a new building to house the preschool. Whilst efforts have made a definite dent at approximately £20,000; some of the building quotes for a new building look to be around £250,000. Meaning we still have a ways to go!

Over the next year, the committee will be having a local fundraising push. Having already scheduled in several local level events ranging from pub quizzes to winter extravaganzas.

However the committee are under no illusion that £250k is a monumental target. Which is why they are asking for donations from far and wide. If you are able to give as much or little as you can, it will be hugely appreciated.

Please help us safeguard the future of our fantastic preschool!
