Copping good support
3:13pm Monday 1st October 2001
CHILDREN at Phoenix Pre-School Centre received a huge boost when the Metropolitan Police handed over a cheque for £4,065.
The money will be used to support the work of the centre, including a new project called Bromley EarlyBird Partnership which works with parents and young children newly-diagnosed with autism.
Vital equipment will be bought including special computer items and new musical instruments.
Headteacher Helen Norris said: “We are so fortunate to have had all this support. Our children are extra special. They will benefit so much from these new resources and have such fun in their newly-refurbished house.”
