Pooled Resources Turn Overgrown Eyesore Into Fun and Educational Memorial

The community of Guisborough in east Cleveland, and local employer ICL Boulby have all come together to transform a dilapidated spot at a local school. A pupil at Chaloner Primary school in Guisborough, has died as a result of a degenerative condition. His friends and classmates wanted a derelict courtyard in the centre of the building to be transformed in his memory. But they wanted it to be a lively place for them all to enjoy. The whole community helped in the transformation. One of the final touches was to improve the pond area and ensure it was safe for the youngsters. ICL Boulby sent workers, offering expertise and materials, to tear out the old pond and replace it.  

The area is more than just a pleasant place for children to come and take time out, it has an educational purpose as well. It is designed to be a resource to help deliver lessons in science and recycling. Read more

The community group provides activities and classes for a variety of age groups with an average number of visitors. Without it, a lot of the attendees, for example may be elderly and lonely will have very limited places to interact and keep their minds healthy.
