Sailors build lasting links with Helston nursery

Four Members of 824 Naval Air Squadron were able to take time out of their busy training schedule to answer a call of assistance from Nansloe Nursery in Helston.

As part of a re-vamp of the outside area at the nursery, the Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose Personnel worked tirelessly to create a permanent playhouse for the children. It has been weather proofed and should be accessible all year round.

“I think it’s wonderful what the Sailors have achieved,” said Charlie Field Head Teacher at Nansloe Academy. “We have very strong connections with Culdrose and many of the children come from service families. I’m very proud of our links with the Air Station and our support network through the HMS Heroes scheme, which brings us all much closer together.”

One of the party was Lieutenant Martin Gilmore who organised the work party and was only to happy to come to the help of the Nursery.

“Nansloe School supports many local Culdrose families, so it has been a pleasure to assist in this small building project”.
