How we started

Our work
The Community Space Challenge helps young people to take a leading role in transforming the environment where they live, taking unloved areas of the community and nurturing them into beautiful spaces that everybody can enjoy and where wildlife can flourish.
Future plans
We are planning to work with pupils at local primary schools to plan and develop many outdoor learning centres which will be made from 100% recycled materials. We will be looking to use our young peer mentors to help teach the younger children life skills in gardening, constrtuction, artwork and project work that they can keep forever and use towards achieving their life goals.
