Brambles, a new ‘Resource Provision’ for vulnerable children within the Paddox Primary School in Hillmorton, was left with just a shell of a building after the budget was eaten up by problems faced during its construction. The facility, created in 2020 was intended to provide a calm and relaxing environment for children with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health issues particularly trauma from early childhood experiences. With little funds to kit out rooms like the much-needed Sensory spaces, the school was at a loss as to what to do.
In a bid to raise the necessary funds to kit out this important space, Assistant Head Teacher, Deborah Texeira had noticed we were building in the area and contacted us to see if we could help. We were, of course, very happy to contribute, and also called on several of our suppliers who generously made donations, meaning Brambles’ entire wish-list could be fulfilled.
We’ve kept in touch with Brambles ever since, and were recently invited to attend their open day. It was a privilege to take a tour and get a sense of the great work they are doing. Deborah Texeira said: “I am overwhelmed by the generosity of both Grace Homes and its suppliers. The Sensory Room is now a calm and inviting space and is filled with soothing equipment such as interactive bubble tubes, rocking bowls and weighted blankets.”
They also used some of the money donated to buy gardening equipment for the children. The garden has been a great success and the children have successfully grown lots of vegetables. Apparently, they love helping in the garden and it really helps them regulate their emotions. Henry Barney, Managing Director at Grace Homes, commented: “We always strive to give back to the community in the areas where we are building new homes. It is wonderful that Grace Homes and several of our suppliers have had the opportunity to make a tangible difference to such an important resource as Brambles.
Special thanks to Bell of Northampton, Maypine, Shepherd Decorating Ltd, Hevey, T M Construction, and Rawington for their support and generosity.

It is clear Brambles has a very dedicated team, and that the equipment provided is making a real difference to the lives of the children they are working with. Thank you once again for your support and generosity.
