Our greatest thanks to councillor Susan Hobson for her donation to Darley Dale Primary School Skipathon which starts on Monday 2nd October for the week.

The children will be raising money for Young Carers in Derbyshire and challenging themselves to a daily skip target.  Councillor Hobson will be joining the children in creating a grand total at the end of the week of skips!!

Monday the 2nd of October sees the start of the Darley Dale Primary School Skipathon.  The children will be setting a daily skipping target to help raise funds for Young Carers in Derbyshire.  The fabulous pupils and staff are setting time aside each day to achieve their personal targets and enjoyed an assembly today from Derbyshire Carers Association.
