We’re currently putting together a sensory garden. We’re hoping to plant our own produce to use in our school cooking classes. We hope to make raised beds, planter boxes, sensory(touch, smell, sight mainly) areas for all the children to benefit from. Making the garden as bright as possible to bring happiness into the small area. Including a dry place to store materials and tools too.
donate nowHi! I'm a trustee for Marble Hill Playcentres, a fantastic place that encourages children of all backgrounds and abilities, to enjoy outdoor play. It encourages children to use their imagination, creativity as well as building physical and social skills.
The site, consists of two areas a One O'Clock Club for 0-5 year olds and Adventure Playground 5-15 year olds. The place needs a lot of work, but one starting point is creating a new mud kitchen in the One O'Clock Club, as quite frankly, the existing one is rotting away, but the children absolutely love it.
donate nowWe are looking to build a bbq and pizza oven for our Scout District to use when camping and for large events. This project will help lots of young people access the outdoors and help us recruit adult volunteers. It will also benefit our community by teaching young people building and cooking skills. We are looking for hard-core, shuttering, ready mixed concrete, bricks, sand and cement please.
We are using a 4x2 metre area and looking at building on a new concrete slab. We have dug out for the foundations and part filled with hard-core.
Thank you for your help, Neil.

donate nowWe are looking to do a whole school Design and technology project where classes work together to design and build a shelter to protect from wind, rain or sunshine. Ks1 will use den building materials such as rope, tarpaulin, wooden canes, a few long pieces of wood. And our ks2 classes will be working as a class to design and build a outdoor shelter that will not only be big enough for 4 children but protect them from wind, rain and sunshine. They will get the opportunity to use building materials such as wood, nails, tarpaulin, pallets, etc
Photos attached below are just rough ideas of what they might look like, the children will be designing and making them so they could look different but they will be using similar materials to make it with.

I went to Guinea Bissau and end up getting admitted in the hospital, I experienced the worst experience ever, witnessed people dying in the corridors of the hospital due to lack of spaces, bed, oxygen machines, light, bad hygiene in the operation rooms, new mums sharing their beds with another mother with they new born childrens.
My charismatic personality brought me the idea to help the people and also being a Nurse I could just let go.

donate nowAbout Us
Yorkshire Cat Rescue is a registered charity providing vital care for unwanted and stray cats across the region. We rescue, rehabilitate and rehome hundreds of cats each year, and our centre is a lifeline for both animals and the people who love them.
Our Need
Our centre currently lacks a safe, accessible car park. The uneven and muddy surface makes it difficult for visitors, staff, and delivery drivers to park safely especially those with mobility issues. Poor access also affects potential adopters, volunteers and local SEN schools who want to visit. This directly impacts our fundraising and rehoming efforts.
donate nowWe are looking to renovate the old Ynysmeudwy boys & girls club. This will be the Ynysmeudwy AFC Hub, which will be used as a clubhouse with changing rooms and showers. A hall that can be used for events like bingo or birthday parties. There's not much in Ynysmeudwy and the football is close to folding with the poor facilities we have. Our plan is to bring the previous boys and girls club back to life and at the same time be the footballs life line.
donate nowI am working in a small team to develop a section of pathway at the Queen Elizabeth Foundation's Care and Rehabilitation Centre in Leatherhead, Surrey. There is a pathway that runs around the centre's site, however portions of the path are unpaved meaning residents at the centre who are wheelchair users cannot currently use the path as it is not accessible. We are aiming to repave this section of path over a couple of days in late March with a team of volunteers.

donate now![]( "Gym Possible")
We are a specialised gym for wheelchair users based in Newcastle Upon Tyne. We are set up as a charitable incorporated organisation under the name Pop-Up Gym (charity number:1170662). All of our members have some type of physical disability for example, Spinal Cord Injury, M.S, Spina Bifida, Stroke, Neurological disorders etc.
Prior to the pandemic we had a large gym in Team Valley with a vibrant community of users many of whom had stated that the gym had changed their lives and given them the confidence to get out into the community again. After nearly going under during the pandemic after burning through nearly all our back up funds. Thankfully we were able to survive but had to start from scratch.
We currently have a small gym space at Tumble Gymnastics in Longbenton, Newcastle. Unfortunately this gym is too small for our needs meaning we can only service around 20 gym members on a weekly basis as opposed to the 60+ we were able to accommodate at our previous premises. Former Olympian, Craig Heap who owns Tumble gymnastics has been extremely supportive of our project and has agreed to use some space on his site to build us a new gym facility. He has gained planning permission etc but now the challenge is funding the construction of the building.
We are hoping it would be possible for you to help us with some materials for this project.

We have the space, some volunteers (teachers, parents and local citizens) but lack the finances to create a space where our pupils can emerse themselves in curricular projects whilst gaining valuable skills. The majority of our pupils have never used basic workshop tools such a junior hack-saw, a file, sandpaper etc. We would truly appreciate any donations of tools and materials to kick start our STEAM projects. Thank you for your time.

donate now![]( "Anglesey Primary School Outdoor Learning")
We are Anglesey Primary School, a large multicultural primary school in Lozells, Birmingham with over 740 pupils including a Nursery and a Speech and Language Base.
We want to transform the playground for some of our youngest pupils into an interactive green outdoor learning space including a forest school. We are associated with various local charities which support safe, green spaces for families, including Aspire and Succeed and The Friends of George’s Park. We want our children to learn about the wonders of science and nature in their own school too. To learn how to take care of their environment, to take responsibility for it and to ensure it flourishes.
During the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns, access to green areas has been limited for our pupils. We want our pupils to have the opportunity to explore the world around them and be involved in the design and construction of this project and be immersed in nature across the year. It will be their green space.
We are aware of rising issues of mental health affecting children, particularly highlighted during the pandemic and this project would enhance pupil’s mental and spiritual health. We have incorporated the use of our garden into our wider curriculum and we would provide after school clubs. It will be a hands-on outdoor learning space with benefits to our pupils including boosting confidence, social skills, communication, motivation, physical skills, problem solving skills, knowledge and understanding and self-esteem from hands on learning. Pupils will have opportunities to work cooperatively and develop further positive attitude to learning following and have control over their environment.
The funding would allow us to create a space for parents to use and develop and train a volunteer parent workforce. We would have planting areas for the community to access and take responsibility for specific areas of the garden, including maintenance. We would utilise the expertise of a Forest School Leader and further use the services of Growing Gains to ensure the pupils get the most out of the space and provide training for staff. All food grown will be harvested and cooked and eaten by pupils and the community, including hosting a special ‘Cook Off’ day.
Our Outdoor Learning space would include a forest school area with fire pit, den building, a digging area (after seeing how motivated the children were when planting trees in our local park), planting areas for vegetables and fruit as well as a variety of other trees and plants, a large construction area, a wildlife pond, bird viewing area and water collection areas to reuse water in the garden. We want to encourage as much wildlife to the space as possible, to broaden our pupil’s knowledge and experiences.
At Anglesey Primary School, we want our pupils to be ‘Inquisitive, Resilient and Independent’ and an outdoor learning space would allow pupils to further implement these values.

donate nowHouse comprised of 7 flats that has a huge garden. We have just been given permission by the landlord to turn this garden into an allotment for us the residents and produce fresh food, of which there will be too much for us to consume, so all surplus produce we are donating to our local food bank, so our local community can have fresh organic produce too. We will be taking delivery of the new polytunnel, seeds, plants, shrubs and trees at the end of this March and beginning of April. We have only just managed to scrap together £500 between us to buy all this. However, we need help with sourcing used sleepers or used scaffold planks or bricks to make the raised beds and don't have the transport to get them either, so that is our biggest challenge with this fresh food project.

donate nowI have seen the work that Enviromate does with regard to material donations for projects and wondered if you could help.
I have a disabled son who will be 30 yrs old this May and with his conditions we all, including hospital staff, never expected him to reach this age.
To celebrate his birthday and the arrival of Spring, we are creating him a surprise sensory garden and have managed to build a fish pond for him but am trying to find scaffold boards to edge the pond with and also raise the flower borders so that he can reach them from his wheelchair.
Unfortunately we are now low on funds to complete the project in time. If Enviromate could help in any way we would be very grateful.
I have never asked for anything before but after seeing your work, I thought it would be worth speaking with you.

Enviromate Donate are proud to be supporting this fantastic Rebuilt4u Community Project in Jaywick, Essex helping re-home individuals who have found themselves in unfortunate circumstances and living on the street’s. The project begins with the regeneration of a property from reclaimed and surplus materials and the guys need your help in all forms from materials to volunteering support – take a read of the project overview below and if there is anyway you can help however small then drop us a line at hello@enviromate.co.uk to discuss;
Rebuilt4U is a registered not for profit community interest company set up with the aim to regenerate the derelict housing stock in some of the UK’s most deprived areas. We want to provide affordable housing for all. We will target our support where we know it will have the most lasting impact.
Rebuilt4U was founded by Daniel Hill. A successful entrepreneur who is a regular on TV and featured in shows such as Channel 4’s Ultimate Dealers and SuperScrimpers, BBC’s 24 Hours in the Past and most recently the hit Dave show Storage Hunters UK. This wheeler dealer will turn his hand to anything but his passion is to help others achieve.
Having a roof over our head is often taken for granted but there are many families and individuals who do not have a place to call home. Rebuilt4U want to help provide homes for those in need by renovating and building more affordable housing.
With your help we can make a difference. We are looking for volunteers who can donate a few hours of their time or expertise to help make dilapidated properties liveable again.
If your a builder, carpenter, electrician, labourer or you can donate building materials or essentials like bathrooms and kitchens then we would LOVE to hear from you.

donate nowBedfords Park Walled Garden is a community-focused food growing space on the edge of London. It sits within a nature reserve and an historical setting.
The aim of the garden is to teach people about food, growing their own, giving valuable life skills to some and ‘skills for working’ to others. There are gardening clubs for the new and the experienced as well as many events, workshops and activities to enjoy whether you’re a gardener or not.
We don’t have enough storage so we’re building 2 sheds. One small one at the back of the Fern house and the other long one at the back of the pineapple house. Both these aspects are north facing and therefore no good for planting and ideal for the sheds we need. The sheds will be made from as much reclaimed and reusable material as possible.
donate nowOur project is called Food For Thought and it is a grow your own project for schools in disadvantaged areas in East Ayrshire. We are working with 2 classes within each of the 7 primary schools involved in the project. We’d like to be able to create at least 2 raised beds for each school which would mean using around 28 scaffold planks.
The raised beds would be used both for growing crops the children would plant and harvest, cook and eat and for growing plants for pollinators. Work outside would link with other work completed in the classroom promoting healthy food choices and an awareness of the role played by pollinators in food production. The schools are registered with the RHS Campaign for the School Gardening.

The project via TCV is a renovation of a community centre garden in Swinnnow, Leeds. We held a community consultation to see what locals wanted, and refined the ideas to a few key areas.
An additional path will be built up from the car park to the café seating area, surrounded by a sensory garden and information/history panels. There is a deaf and blind group who use the centre weekly, and have expressed that the current path is not suitable. The sensory garden will be popular for all, however our wish is provide a place where those with dementure can relax and enjoy their surroundings.
The path will continue past the café area and up a rise, so wide and accessible steps will be needed, along with a railing. At the top of the rise there will be raised beds and a greenhouse, so that the current gardening group can have their own space. The space with provide opportunity and incentive for thegroup to expand, and produce will be sold at a value price on site. The money made will go back into the centre.
On top of the rise there is also a shady area behind the centre building. This will be transformed into a wildlife and children’s outdoor education area, using all natural products such as live willow and mushroom seats made from felled tree trunks.
Finally the old paving slabs that provide the current path will be brought up and layed again properly, to ensure the path is even. Woven willow screens will also be fixed around the bins. The outcome should be an appealing, inviting area that’s suitable for many users. If we got even one part of this list through you we would be extremely grateful.
