Our close links to local Primary Schools and Treloar College who regularly come to our site for curriculum enriching lessons and activities prompted us to think about a new outdoor dining and social area that could be used all year round. We wanted a safe and attractive meeting point for all our schools' visitors and students.

Recently we applied to Tesco’s Bags of Help community scheme for a grant to fund this exciting project. The scheme uses the money raised from the supermarket’s  5p bag charge to fund thousands of local projects in communities. There was a 'Bags of Help' vote in local Tesco stores in March and April where customers voted for which project they believed should be funded. We are delighted that our project came first and was chosen to receive a grant of £5,000.
