On the 13th September Prospects’ Green Spaces Team and the Peel Park Officer attended the Accrington and Rossendale College’s Freshers Fair where we held a stall. Our stall aimed to inform future college students about the various work done by Prospects and to gauge their interest in the environmental sector. We are pleased to report that 40 prospective students visited our stall and expressed an interest in conservation!
Our stall contained all the information about activities, volunteering, and the work done by prospects needed to inspire young people who are interested in the environmental sector. We also created a Climate Pledge Tree using material from our sites, here students could write their eco-pledge onto ‘tree cookies’ and hang them from the tree. The pledge tree stayed at the college in the reception to remind students of their commitments.
It was a great day and it was heartening to see so many students taking a keen interest in their local environment
We would like to thank Accrington and Rossendale College for hosting us and the students who visited our stall.
As always, thank you to our funders at GreenRecoveryChallengeFund and National Lottery Heritage Fund for making this all possible.
