A BUDDY bench has been donated to Windygoul Primary School by property developers Miller Homes to encourage new friendships among pupils and brighten up the playground.
Pupils are being encouraged to use the bench when they are feeling lonely, in the hope that it will promote kindness and encourage all children to be more inclusive during playtimes.
Lynsey Brown, regional sales director for Miller Homes Scotland East, said: “We’re so happy to support Windygoul Primary School with this donation and hope the pupils enjoy using the buddy bench as we get into the warmer months.
“It’s important for us to support the local communities in which we’re building, so off the back of our Winton View development, we were delighted to be able to make this donation to the local school to hopefully encourage new friendships.”
A representative from the business visited pupils to unveil the bench.
The home builder also donated wildflower seeds which will be planted at the school.
