The Friends of St Mary’s Roman Catholic Primary

We’ve partnered with Friends of St Mary’s Primary School to transform their forest area. Through our work, we have created a wildlife pond area with a decking surround, enabling hands-on learning about nature and conservation for the pupils. With the Foundation’s support, the project successfully removed old fencing, installed new gates and fencing, and constructed a rope fence perimeter. Additionally, funding allowed for the purchase of essential materials such as pre-formed ponds, cement, and ballast. Our contribution also extended to providing tools for volunteer days and essential habitat features like hedgehog houses and bird feeders, ensuring the school’s outdoor learning space was transformed into a place where students can connect with nature and learn valuable conservation skills. Through this project, we have shown our commitment to supporting initiatives that enhance the well-being and educational experiences of young learners.
