Energy Firm E.ON Donates £2,000 To Primary School In Wales
Energy firm E.ON has donated a £2,000 grant to a primary school in Bridgend, Wales.
The money for Oldcastle Primary School has been used to install energy efficient lighting in classrooms.
The funding has been used to upgrade the light fittings throughout the school as part of its 'Nursery and Reception Lighting for Wellbeing' project, set up to continue the school's efforts to transform its lighting to be brighter and more energy efficient.
Sara Peters, Grants, Media and Safety Officer for Oldcastle Primary School, said: "We're very thankful for E.ON’s grant to fund the upgrade of our nursery and reception lighting which will help us to achieve our aim of providing a safe, well-lit and energy efficient environment for our children.
"The lighting will not only help cut our electricity consumption and costs but research has shown that improved lighting has the ability to have a positive effect on mental and physical health, social activities and learning performance.
"What's even better is that it’s not just the pupils and staff that will see an improvement with the new lights but the various community groups who use the school building for their activities will also benefit from the measures we’ve implemented as a result of the grant from E.ON."
