Hackney Outdoors CIC started to re-nature school playgrounds in 2023/2024 at no cost to help improve sites for our paid for outdoor learning offer, which is mainly after school clubs and daytime sessions. We worked with a local primary school for 430 children in Stoke Newington, Hackney, to help them raise 16,000 pounds for improvements, and then planning and delivering the change on site using corporate volunteers and experts. By the end of July we had raised the money and started to transform the space, by removing and recycling 165m2 of plastic astroturf and putting in the foundations and soil for a new outdoor shelter, planting area, nature play area and new habitats. We also started to work formally with corporates who help fund the CIC to provide free re-naturing consultancy and project management to William Patten and other London schools, as part of their payment to use for arranging and running nature based volunteering days. Many corporates give employees 2-4 volunteer days a year to use and have corporate social responsibility budgets to spend with organisations such as mine who can supply interesting and locally beneficial volunteering experiences. We have also run other events such as nature walks and parties, though these are paid for and also help fund our core renaturing services to schools
Our main stakeholders are now the schools in which we work, and also our corporate volunteer clients which included Colt Technology Ltd in this financial year. We do informal consultation with the senior leadership teams in our schools, for example working with them to raise money and plan changes to their sites, and with our corporates, for example understanding what types of outdoor volunteering they want to do and matching them to the right school to ensure both volunteers and schools are receiving benefits. From this consultation we have set up repeatable systems which mean we aim to scale the number of schools and corporates we work with in the next financial year.
Directors' remuneration of £5,625 was paid in the year to 31 July 2024
