Helping to create a sensory garden for Holt Park Active Centre, 利兹
我们的 Mitie colleagues were proud to volunteer as part of a team that created a sensory garden for Holt Park Active Centre.
When Ralph Thoresby School received a lottery grant, they had a vision of using it to benefit the local community. They partnered with the Adult Social Care unit at Holt Park Active Centre, 利兹, to create a sensory garden that would provide a peaceful 和 interactive environment for students 和 community members, especially those with sensory processing challenges.
联合团队的努力
The project was a collaborative effort that involved various stakeholders, 包括Mitie, 海德公园资源, 利兹市议会, 和艾尔河谷. Mitie played a crucial role in supporting the project, both financially 和 practically. This included covering half of the cost for the garden’s gate (totalling £1500) 和 contributing 80 hours of voluntary labour.
Helpdesk operatives, engineers, 和 contract managers from our 当地政府 和 教育 sectors were pivotal in carrying out the work.
我们的承包商, 亚耳河流域, also generously waived the installation fees for the gate 和 provided volunteer labour. Work on the project included cleaning the external walls, replacing 和 painting the garden benches, 修复花园小径, pruning plants 和 flowers 和 replacing damaged grass. A pergola was fixed to provide shade 和 structure within the garden.
Creating a positive community impact
The project finished in a gr和 reveal in July, where the Mayor of 利兹 officially opened the sensory garden to the public. The event featured speeches from representatives of Adult Social Care, Ralph Thoresby School 和 the Mayor of 利兹, highlighting the collaborative efforts 和 the anticipated positive impact on the community.
