More funding from the national Rotary Flood Disaster Appeal has been announced.   The Rotary Appeal raised over £300,000 and this has been augmented by a further £600,000 raised by Naomi Campbell’s Fashion for Relief fashion show. The Rotary Club of Doncaster St Leger has already secured £7,500 to restore the destroyed play area at Toll Bar Primary School from the Appeal Fund and has now been awarded a further £25,000 to replace the ‘green’ greenhouse, allotment and other growing areas destroyed by the floods with an environmental project which will extend the original concept to include a wetland area and other discrete spaces to develop the excitement of growing – areas being researched include poetry/sculpture garden areas with possible woodland elements and an evolutionary garden.   This would bring a series of cross-curriculum endeavour together from science, design and technology through to geography and even citizenship.  

Naomi Campbell said “I am thrilled with the results of this year’s Fashion for Relief, and thank all those who contributed in supporting these communities affected by the floods.”
