The Asda Foundation grant was designed to help ease the pressures that have been placed on all families during the pandemic.

Wyberton Primary Academy has been approved for a grant worth £1,000 to spend on a school uniform bank, PE kit bank and reading books to support those who need a helping hand though the current situation.

Sutterton Fourfields PTFA has had their application for £850 for a uniform bank, a PE kit bank, classroom stationery and PPE to help support families who need a boost at this difficult time approved.

St Mary’s RC Primary Academy submitted a successful application for £1,000 to help with a uniform bank, PE kit bank, breakfast club and stationery to assist its students who need a little support.

Stephen Bromby, community champion at the Lister Way supermarket, said: “Each year, the Asda Foundation supports local grass roots organisations to transform communities and improve the lives of people living within the area around our store with a number of different grants. I’m delighted to have been able to support these schools to receive a combined £3,850 to benefit local families.”
