The Jacket and Jill’s team arrived back from last month’s Glastonbury Festival triumphant, if a little muddy, after raising over £5,000 for Kilmersdon Primary School.The stall, run by members of the PTA, has been feeding hungry Glastonbury-goers with baked potatoes for over ten years!
In 2001, the school took up its first stand at the festival to raise money for a new classroom and this proved such a success, that they have been back every year since.
Funds raised have helped to build a school amphitheatre, community growing garden, poly tunnel, fund forest school lessons and the most ambitious project to date – a new school building which was completed last year.
Jacket and Jill’s would like to say a huge THANK YOU to all the parents and local companies who kindly donated and loaned equipment for the stall; R&B Marquees, Tinknells of Wells, Andy at Wellington Signs, Mike Green (Food Machinery
Services), Susan (Café Nouveau, Tytherington) L&F Jones, Mark Kidner, Zonkey Solutions Ltd for the tireless social media coverage and loan of the fire
extinguisher and Sean Sparkes for the invaluable wood chippings!
And all the parents, children and customers that came along to show their support by buying one of our delicious spuds!
