Northamptonshire homebuilder highlights mental health awareness with book donation to local schools

Irchester Community Primary School, which is just under half a mile away from Mulberry Homes’ Steeple View Chase development, and Middleton Cheney Primary Academy, which is located nearby to Mulberry Homes’ Middleton Meadows development, both received a bundle of books which tackle sensitive subjects including emotions and grief.

Prime7 Multi Academy Trust said: “We are very grateful to Mulberry Homes for this donation. Children’s mental health is massively important, and these books are a great entry point for our children to speak about their feelings.”

Simon Anderson, Head of School at Irchester Community Primary, said: “We were very happy when we received this donation from Mulberry Homes. The focus on breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health is important, and these books act as a gateway for children to do that.”
