About this cause

We raise money to support Beecroft Garden Primary School. We are run entirely by volunteers and we raise money by running events for parents, children and the wider community throughout the year. We work closely with the school in deciding where the money we raise should be spent. Recently we have bought the school musical instruments and provided funds to improve the library. We are currently raising money towards our Big Garden Project. A recent air pollution study showed dangerous levels of pollution on the road outside the school and to protect our children we plan to a) create a green screen of ivy and clematis along the road, b) revamp the overgrown garden area to create a peace garden the children can enjoy and c) plant fruit trees in the playground

How this cause brings people in the community together

Our planting plans will improve air quality for everyone nearby and improve the overall look of the area. We are a very diverse community and the school reflects this, the garden will enable many children with no access to a garden to learn about and enjoy gardening. The fruit trees will not only enhance the playground but also link to curriculum topics and help stock the school kitchen!
