Nominate Morewood School in the Churchill Lollipoppers campaign

I just nominated Burton Morewood School, Burton in Kendal in the Churchill Lollipoppers campaign: 
https://www.churchill.com/lollipoppers

Problem
Pedestrian injury is the leading cause of accidental death of children in Great Britain. Lollipoppers ensure the safety of children on their school run, but the numbers of lollipoppers have been falling year on year.

Solution
At Churchill we believe it's important that children can get to school safely so we've launched a fund to put more lollipoppers on the streets nationwide.

Action
Do you know a school that needs a lollipopper? Nominate your school for a chance to receive funding for a Churchill Lollipopper.

Yes! Burton Morewood School, Burton in Kendal would benefit from this... please would you support by nominating our village school for this opportunity? It will help keep our children safe.

https://www.churchill.com/lollipoppers  Nominations close 23.59 BST on 15 May 2016.
