The 3R Foundation has awarded £500 to Larksfoot CIC which they used to purchase a cargo trolley, 1000Kgs of play sand and branded fleeces for the volunteers.
Larksfoot CIC is a Forest school and Preschool based in the grounds of Leighton Hall. They provide immersive, outdoor, educational packages for children and young people focusing on mental wellbeing, building self esteem and confidence. During the school holidays they provide Free funded spaces for children and young people from lower income/deprived households in their holiday clubs.
They also work on behalf of Arnside and Silverdale National Landscape (formally known as AONB) creating and delivering sustainability educational programs to local schools.
Caroline from Larksfoot told us "The children have been loving the sand, it's made a huge difference to their play and creativity, it's a real social area that is being used all the time now. The trolly has also made a huge difference for staff and children to get all our gear up and down into the main woods. We can't thank you enough".
