Fundraising

Thank you for supporting our pre-school

Fundraising and generous donations help support the setting and the children who attend. We also value opportunities to support good causes in our community.

Current appeal

Help keep our community pre-school thriving

Our beloved Wirksworth Pre-school Playgroup has been a vital part of our community since 1965, providing a safe, nurturing space for children to learn and grow. Unfortunately, the ongoing funding crisis in the Early Years sector is making it harder for us to keep our doors open and continue offering high-quality early education.

We’re raising funds to improve our outdoor garden, carry out essential building maintenance, and replace our ageing roof—steps that will help us create a safe, stimulating environment for local children for years to come.

Your support, no matter the size, can make a real difference for our children and families. Please consider donating or sharing this appeal with others who care about preserving this community resource.

Thank you so much for helping us keep the future bright for Wirksworth’s little learners!

Gifts in wills

A lasting way to support the setting

Some kind people have remembered the pre-school in their wills in the past, and we are very grateful. We do not currently have a record of those gifts, so we cannot share details about them. Going forward, we will use this page to record and acknowledge legacy gifts, while respecting each donor's wishes for privacy or anonymity.

If you are considering leaving a gift to Wirksworth Pre-school Playgroup in your will, please get in touch. We would be happy to talk with you.
