We are a 100% voluntary group made up of about 20 people who come off and on with about 10 regular guys.
We maintain the woodlands for all to use and enjoy. With conservation and re-wilding in mind we work with that always in mind.
Description
Our group is so unique. We have people from all walks of life, retired folks, people who suffer from mental health issues, veterans, young teens from povierty who we mentor and try and use nature to distract them from the issue they have, people with addiction issues. We have other groups come and use our woodlands to teach about nature. Scouts and restbite office staff. Lots and lots of folks
We have been doing lots of projects to help with climate change and habit restoration and creation. Aspin tree planting, fruit tree planting, tree maintenance and control of invasive species, wild flower planting. Water course maintenance. So much going on I could go on and on.
The funding we need is mostly PPE funding. We desperately need safety equipment like gloves, waterproofs, safety wellingtons, safety glasses, highviz tops, safety helmets with viziers, ear defenders,
Pricing from Amazon as an estimated price of these things.
Hi Viz tops = £6.49 each x14
Safety helmets with viziers = £23.99 each X2
Ear defenders = £13.99 each x 4
Safety wellingtons sizes from 7 to 11 = £22.39 to £23.39 each x9
Safety gloves = £8.99 pack of twelve
Safety gloves anti thorn = £9.99 each x4
Waterproof top and bottoms varise sizes = £19.99 each x15
Safety glasses pack of 12 = £14.99
We have also thought about our circumstances in the winter. We currently don't have a proper place to keep warm and boil the kettle. A small stove was our thoughts as it would provide heat to dry off and heat a kettle. We also make a pot of stew in the winter to help warm all the volunteers. Cooking has been a bit difficult but a little log stove would improve that immensely.
Stove to cook on = £117.95
Total for all above is £998.97
Please consider us for this funding. It would be a massive help to our group and the community.
