Our Youth Projects Coordinator Ceri recently supported a sustainability week at William Howard school in Brampton.

During the week, the pupils took part in workshops and other activities designed to teach about sustainable practises. These included stands on recycling, responsible farming and zero waste shopping.

A neighbouring primary school also visited with their students and activities were opened to the wider community after school had finished.

Ceri ran a workshop on composting supported by Master Composters. This saw the children making biodegradable newspaper plant pots and writing sustainability pledges.

She said: “It was a delight to be part of William Howard’s sustainability event.  The students were involved with their Open Spaces programme thanks to CDEC’s Green Place project and it was great to be among the local organisations coming together to share ideas and understanding within the students and their wider community. It was an inspiring occasion and it’s success means it looks set to be a fixture on William Howard school calendar!”

Partner organisations like Sustainable Brampton and Brampton 2 Zero also led workshops.

If you’d like to see a little more of what they got up to, Green PLACE produced this lovely video of the week’s activities. See if you can spot the CAfS logo!
