HOMES provider Hyde visited Shoreham Beach Primary School to donate £1,000 to fund new sports equipment.

This will help towards the creation of a new playground for the children at the upper school.

The school, which is hoping to raise £25,000 towards this project, took the time to show Hyde staff and councillor Joss Loader the plans for the new playground before the cheque was presented in the school assembly.

School head Miss Bob Woodman said: “We are a community school, we try to contribute to our community and are extremely grateful when our efforts are recognised and rewarded, Thank you Hyde!”

Sarah Willis from the Hyde Foundation said: “We are committed to our communities and with our new homes currently under construction just across the river, and our proposed redevelopment around the corner, this is just one example of Hyde contributing to the local community.”
