Harrogate Garden Centre has donated a light-up reindeer to the Springwater School as part of its Christmas Magic community campaign.
The campaign, which was run by the UK’s largest family-run group, British Garden Centres, saw residents from the local area asked to nominate a worthy group, garden, charity or hospice that has gone above and beyond to receive the reindeer to light up the community and spread festive cheer.
Linda Wooldridge nominated Springwater School for the competition.
She said:
"The special school caters for children with autism, profound and multiple learning difficulties.
"My granddaughter attends and the staff are amazing, The children all have severe disabilities but they achieve so much.
"The school tries to give the children the very best learning experience and life which they possibly can.“
Amy Stubbs, Project and Development Manager at British Garden Centres said:
“We are incredibly proud of the active role British Garden Centres plays in its local communities, and that’s particularly important at this time of year.
"We are delighted to donate this light reindeer as a symbol of joy, Christmas magic, and community spirit during the festive season.”
British Garden Centres (BGC) is the UK’s largest family-owned garden centre group with 65 centres around the country.
The group is owned and led by The Stubbs family, who also own and operate Woodthorpe Leisure Park in Lincolnshire.
BGC was launched in 1987 with the opening of Woodthorpe Garden Centre by brothers Charles and Robert Stubbs.
Since 2018 it has expanded rapidly with the acquisition of 50 garden centres allowing it to grow from its heartland to the business it is now with 65 garden centres spread from Carmarthen to Ramsgate, Wimborne to East Durham.
The group has a team of 2,700 colleagues working across the garden centres, restaurants, growing nurseries, distribution centres, Woodthorpe Leisure Park, and Woody’s Restaurant & Bar.
