Our Supporters

Sir James Knott were our start-up funders, giving us a generous grant to take our first steps by setting up the foundations of a robust and sustainable organisation, ensuring that we meet all legislative, safeguarding, and safety requirements and that the systems we set up are future-proofed, allowing us to develop without outgrowing them – this included brand identity, IT and data systems.

They also supported our initial steps, including working with local community groups and to pilot using reuse materials to create activity boxes.

We will be forever grateful that they believed in our vision for inclusion and environment.

The People’s Postcode Lottery and Postcode Neighbourhood Trust have supported us to support those marginalised due to additional needs to volunteer to help us reuse materials to create our boxes. Funding provided 30 supported volunteering sessions for people with additional needs and 300 packs to enable others to volunteer from home. This work has been made possible by an award from Postcode Neighbourhood Trust, a

grant-giving charity funded entirely by players of People’s Postcode Lottery.
