What a special project to be part of! ⚽️

Ahead of the World Cup kicking off, our Learning Team have been busy handing out 10,000 fandanas to local schools so each pupil will have one to celebrate this huge world event.

This follows on from our World Cup Scarf and is a deconstructed design from Aoife Cawley and the young Rockwell Learning Centre team which we launched in April.

Shoutout out to Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal who have taken 50 fandanas to Boston to hand out to school pupils too.
