Undaunted by the coronavirus pandemic, the Schools team gathered online to review a total of 30 applications from local infant, primary and junior schools. Another generous donation increased the overall amount to be award to £3,000 and allowed the team to give grants ranging from £25 to £500 to 21 schools this year. These awards have been presented and you can find a full list of recipients with a brief overview of their project on the Schools page.
In these highly uncertain times and when all individuals are under a lot more stress, creating green spaces that support the well-being and mental health of children is extremely important. We hope that these grants will allow schools to support the needs of the children and offer additional resources in line with the curriculum.
