Boris Boosts Sales of Snapdragons' Facemasks!

Snapdragons Atworth have launched their own range of facemasks to raise money for charity after nursery chef, Charlotte Chivers, was diagnosed with cancer. Charlotte faces an operation, chemo and radiotherapy at Royal United Hospital, Bath, and asked for the money raised to go to Bath Cancer Unit Support Group to thank them for their care.

The red gingham facemasks match our Snapdragons aprons and are being handmade by our Inclusion Manager, Alison Shires, who has also made scrubs for the NHS during lockdown. Each mask will raise £5 for the cancer charity.

Alison says her sewing machine is red hot, but she’s very happy to sew for such a good cause. She also thanked the immaculate timing of Boris Johnson’s mandatory mask order for boosting sales!

Charlotte, who has been shielding at home with her two sons in preparation for her operation, says, “I’ve been overwhelmed by the kindness I’ve received from my friends at nursery, including all the children and parents. The team at Atworth is like an extended family and I feel so lucky to have their support. I know we’ll get through this together.”

Did you know Snapdragons Atworth is the first and smallest nursery in our family? It was started 22 years ago in a Wiltshire farmhouse which was then the home of owners!
