Oasis Healthy School Grant (360G-Walcot-0061E00001LDVsRQAX)

As a school with limited play space and in a highly polluted area, we plan to use £5,000 in the first year of the grant to introduce small trees, plants and shrubbery to our outside spaces to improve air quality, reduce pollution and create more calm and attractive outside spaces for our young people to improve their wellbeing. We also plan to continue our membership with Future Men, a mentoring programme supporting the mental health of our boys, a particularly concerning group from both national and local statistics. The cost of this is £9,410.08 (with 20% subsidised) secured by Future Men. Assuming the continued success of this programme within the school, we hope to then continue this for a second year at the same cost. We are hoping to be able to convert some further space within the school for play spaces and plan to use the remaining £5,000 in the second year to again, make these spaces as green as possible, improving both air quality and ambience for our young people.
