PURE Community Projects
Working with Schools and Nurseries
We work with a number of local primary schools and nurseries in both Middleton and Stockport, providing essential grounds maintenance and gardening tasks.
These initiatives are an extension to our other successful projects. We provide the schools with a regular service which is not currently available to undertake tasks such as weeding, keeping flower beds and hedges neat and presentable, litter picking, sweeping and planting. These are all tasks that continually need doing but are often overlooked.
The partnership with the schools allows our service users to be fully included in a lively vibrant environment or the school and gives pupils a good understanding and awareness of the needs of disabled members of their community.
Kath Conwell, Head of local Stockport primary school says “schools are a great place to foster community cohesion and the pupils and staff look forward to the visits – a great way to experience citizenship and enterprise”.
In Middleton, there is a link between the Park Wardens and Schools project as some of the plants not used in the park are donated to the schools for use in their grounds, which would have only been possible through the partnerships with Pure.
