Orbit Homes supports Elmswell school children with road safety

Pupils of Elmswell Community Primary School have been helped to stay safe on the roads thanks to a donation of reflective keychains from Orbit Homes.

The keychains will help the children stay more visible in the dark when walking home from school, and the donation of over 400 high-vis keychains for the school’s pupils was made in support of Orbit Homes’ commitment to the safety of its customers and communities.

Orbit Homes also worked closely with the school’s Road Safety team to pick out a wide variety of keychains for the children, ranging in designs from hearts and stars to footballs and animals. Students who act as Junior Road Safety Officers handed out the reflective keychains to all pupils across the school from nursery to Year 6.

Elmswell Community Primary School is located close to two of Orbit Homes’ current developments, Brook Gardens in Elmswell and Brickmakers Place in Woolpit.

Andy Georgiou, Sales and Marketing Director for Orbit Homes in the East, said: “We are committed to making a positive impact in the local communities in which we build. This donation of reflective keychains was a perfect opportunity for us to work with Elmswell Community Primary School to provide all the schoolchildren with something that helps them stay safe on the roads. We’re delighted to show our support for the school.”

Richard Ratcliffe, Headteacher at Elmswell Community Primary School, added: “The safety and wellbeing of our pupils is our priority, and we’re very grateful to Orbit Homes for this kind donation of reflective keychains that will help the children stay safe on the roads on their way to and from school. The pupils love the designs and were really excited to choose their own.”

Elmswell Community Primary School is nearby Orbit Homes’ Brook Gardens development in the town, where one final three-bedroom home remains available for purchase through Shared Ownership. 

All homes at Brook Gardens feature Orbit Homes’ all-inclusive specification, including flooring throughout and turf to the rear garden. Homes at Brook Gardens are especially designed to support energy efficiency for residents too, with an Air Source Heat Pump heating system, solar PV panels and EV charging point for all homes.
