Peafield Lane Academy in Mansfield Woodhouse has seen its outdoor spaces spruced up with the help of local companies and some hands on work by 33 Experian volunteers.

Michelle Martin, a teacher at the school, said the work had made a great difference to the appearance of its outdoor spaces.

“We have access to fantastic grounds at Peafield but some of the areas were certainly looking a little tired.

“Now, thanks to donations from local companies and to Experian volunteers, the area looks fantastic. The whole school would like to say a big thank you to everyone who helped to cheer up our play areas.”

Belinda Lowings, of Experian, said it was nice for her team to be united in one location to carry out the task.

“Our team is split over two office locations, London and Nottingham, so it was good to have this opportunity to work together and to put something back into the community.

“We hope we have created a better entrance for the children and made a difference for the school.”

Materials for the revamp were provided by Travis Perkins, Midland Paint, Wickes and Tesco with the hands-on work carried out by 33 Experian employees.
