Barney & Echo
This week Amarin Rubber & Plastics were approached by The Police Community Clubs of Great Britain.
The Police Community Clubs of Great Britain is run by serving and retired police officers. The concept came from police officers’ experience whilst working with young people in their local communities. They realised that whilst there were avenues to help develop youth initiatives, there were few resources that focused solely on developing life skills and citizenship values, with the aims of reducing crime and disorder.
Citizenship is increasingly recognised by schools as a vital part of Personal, Social and Health Education (PHSE). The citizenship programme offered have been specifically designed to support teachers and parents in addressing bullying, vandalism, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, knife crime and other sensitive subjects with key stage 1 and 2 children.
Amarin have sponsored a set of 30 books internet safety. The books will be sent to Castle Batch Primary School Academy. The school was decided upon as that is the school by our very own Lewis‘ 2 daughters (Olivia and Savannah). The books named, “Barney & Echo – Caught In The Web” teaches children about keeping safe on the internet.
The Amarin Community Fund continues to back projects in our local area. We are always looking at new ways to help our community. Over the 2 years of the fund we have backed individuals, our local hospital and sports team. We are very proud to donated thousands of pounds now to products helping members of our community of all ages. We cannot support everything but we will always do our best to support causes close to our staff’s hearts.
If your children attend Castle Batch then keep an eye out for the new books, complete with Amarin logo! Thank you all for your support and we absolutely love spreading the news of the things we’re doing.
