Youth Wellbeing Garden Project BGLC
Donation protected
The Youth Wellbeing Team at Brookvale Groby Learning Campus are asking for support in making our plan of a Peace garden in time for Mental Health week in May (10th-16th) a reality.
After the uncertain and unprecedented year we’ve had looking after our mental health has never been more important. Students have shown resilience in such an unpredictable time and we would like to create a space to aid in well-being.The theme for this year's Mental Health awareness week is Nature and what better way to celebrate this than by providing our students with a safe space to reflect in at social times. It will also give students an opportunity to get involved in extracurricular activities such as a gardening club which will be helpful for their well-being.
In addition to creating a peaceful place for students to spend their break and lunch times we plan to have an area containing a bench and plaque to commemorate one of our students Taran Singh Gill, who sadly passed away 5 years ago. He was a bright, friendly and well loved member of the community, therefore this space will hold sentimental value to a lot of our community.
We are reaching out to you to ask for donations towards our Peace Garden.
We have set up a GoFundMe page but would also appreciate any physical donations.
Our ideal wish list includes the following as well as other items;
Plant pots
Flowers in a variety of colours
Gardening tools suitable for students to use
Seeds (both flower & vegetable)
Compost
Flowering pots
Water butt
Compost bins
Watering cans
Paints suitable for outdoor spaces
Water feature
Anything decorative
Commemorative bench
Plaque
We ask that any physical donations be left at the shelter in front of reception and that they are in safe and working condition to be used with young people. We would like the garden to be functional during Mental Health awareness week May 10th - 16th so would appreciate any donations by Thursday 6th May 2021.
Your donations, however big or small, will help us in achieving our goal to create a peaceful, safe and enriching environment for our students who thoroughly deserve it,
Yours Faithfully,
Youth Wellbeing Team & BGLC Students
