Viennese help for nursery
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Vienna is donating pounds 200,000 towards a new nursery in London to mark the 50 years since its liberation by the Allies in 1945, writes Lynn Eaton.
The Austrian capital prides itself on providing kindergartens for children with special needs and had wanted to build one in the City. But it has been persuaded to invest the money in a special-needs nursery that is due to open next year.
That nursery, which has a pounds 150,000 Corporation of London grant, will be in Islington, but 20 per cent of the places will go to City children.
It will be built at the Prior Weston primary school in Whitecross Street.
Vienna's donation will allow better security at the site, energy conservation measures, improved audio-visual and computer equipment, and better access from the nursery to the main school.
