We would like to develop our wildlife areas, to provide a forest school environment, enabling the children to grow their own vegetables.

About this cause

The objective of Hangleton friends is to engage in activities, which support the school and advance the education of the pupils attending them. We hold a number of activities throughout the year; including discos, fairs, film nights and quizzes. All funds raised via these events go towards providing learning resources: visits from subject specialists, subsidising school trips, providing playground equipment and the upkeep of the school swimming pool. All funds raised by our organisation benefit every child in our school, circa 600. There are a number of projects we would like to fundraise for in the coming year; developing the outdoor wildlife areas and offering forest school lessons, as well as providing raised beds, in which children can grow vegetables.

How this cause brings people in the community together

It would be great to allow the children to understand more about the environment, spend time outside of the classroom and have the opportunity to grow their own produce. A forest school type of environment has been proven to have a positive impact on a child's wellbeing. We are a healthy eating school, to give the children an opportunity to grown their own vegetables will reinforce this.
