Helping Hands of HCAT
Pupils from all year groups participated in different ways all with the aim of helping the community. Some made posters for Doctors and Dentists Surgeries or invited volunteers and members of the community to attend a picnic while others supported the elder members of the community.
Cecil Gardens
Wheeler Primary believe strongly in supporting the elderly members of our community as we know that they may be vulnerable or feeling isolated. It is for these reasons that we visit the residents of a local residential home to share lots of fun and laughter. We have shared many experiences with our friends at Cecil Gardens including; singing and dancing, gardening, afternoon tea and story telling to name a few.
