Brookie Bear visits Parish Primary School

Brookie Bear had the pleasure of visiting Parish Primary School on 12th July. Our wonderful volunteer Mrs Kells has been working with the children in Year 5 and today they held an activity day, raising fantastic awareness of Willowbrook.

Brookie and our partnerships fundraiser, Bev visited Y2 while they were there. They had some fantastic questions for Bev about Brookie. We’ve listed a few below with the answers…
