The Community Environmental Trust (CET) is a community based environmental charity that works within the community to deliver environmental projects.
What We Do:
CET delivers several important projects including Forest Schools, Confidence through Conservation, Castle Vale Cycle loans and the Community Energy Switch Project.
Forest Schools is an innovative project that seeks to take school children that find the normal school environment challenging out of the classroom and into Castle Vale’s Conservation Area and Plantsbrook LNR.
Children that take part in Forest Schools activity have been shown to be markedly better at concentrating than previously and they return to school with stronger social skills, greater ability to work in groups. Generally children had high self-esteem and confidence in their own capabilities
Why We Are Crowd Funding:
The funding CET has received has declined dramatically in line with the global financial crisis which has meant that our projects and as a result the people we are working with have suffered.
We need to raise £10,000 to support the Forest Schools project for the coming year. £10,000 will allow us to work with around 4800 children (aged 7 - 11) for the whole year.
Taking small groups to Plantsbrook LNR and using forest school skills that will help them achieve better academic results, Gain more confidence and to help children with learning difficulties develop social skills.
