Rayne Primary and Nursery School has received a £1,000 donation towards its summer fete.

Housebuilder Mulberry Homes, which is working on the Muberry Homes at Braintree development just over a mile away on Rayne Road, donated the money as part of its ongoing charity initiative.

This is the second year in a row Mulberry Homes has sponsored the fete, having donated £500 last year.

The summer fete was organised by the Rayne Parent Staff Association (PSA) and will take place from 1am to 4pm on Saturday (June 15), with a range of activities and games for children to enjoy.

Mulberry Homes' £1,000 donation will help fund the food stall at the fete.

Kerry Jones, sales and marketing director at Mulberry Homes, added: "We hope that the summer fete is a huge success, and that the PSA raise significant funds for the school."
