York footwear company Pavers has donated a further £11,742 to Fulford School, to help it create a new resource centre.

The donation follows £5000 it gave to the school in 2022.

The school has completed the first phase of this project in summer 2023 and is fundraising to complete the transformation.

The £11,742 from Pavers matches the £11,741 raised by the school, allowing the final phase to happen, with work expected to start in the autumn term.

The school says the update will boost learning, creating a positive atmosphere and be a hub for intellectual exploration.

Their support will have a profound impact on our students, ensuring that our library—a vital hub for learning and development—remains a vibrant resource for years to come.

“This donation will truly change the lives of our children, enhancing their education and opening doors to endless possibilities. Thank you for believing in our mission and investing in the future of our students."

The Pavers Foundation has donated over £2 million to charities and good causes since it was established in 2018.
