HELMSHORE PUPILS GET VISIBLE THANKS TO WOODCOCKS
The dark nights are closing in but schoolchildren in Helmshore will shine bright thanks to a kind-hearted local legal firm. Pupils at Helmshore Primary School are being encouraged to walk to and from school safely after Rossendale solicitors Woodcocks provided them with high visibility vests.
It is the third year running Woodcocks has provided Helmshore Primary School with the safety vests. Woodcocks solicitor Kate Allsop, who is based at the company’s Rawtenstall office and herself a former Helmshore County Primary pupil, said the company had been impressed with the children’s enthusiasm for walking to school. She said: “We are a family firm and we are keen to get out into the community and support our local schools, which is what donating the vests is all about.
“As the dark nights are drawing in it is the perfect time to do this and we are sure that as more and more families recognise the benefits of walking the vests will see a lot of use.”
Christine Myers, headteacher at Helmshore Primary School, which is in Gregory Fold, said she was delighted that Woodcocks were continuing to support the school’s ongoing work to improve road safety. She said: “We like to encourage our children to walk to school because not only is it good exercise, but it also helps to ease congestion at the school gates at busy times. “The health and safety of our children is of paramount importance so we are very grateful for Woodcocks’ support in helping pupils to stay safe while walking to and from school.”
Woodcocks is one the oldest-established family firms of solicitors in the country and has offices in Rawtenstall, Haslingden, Bacup, Bury and Ramsbottom.
