Residents of Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes' Fairway Gardens development in Angmering have come together to install a new 'Pollination Education Station' (PES) on green space at the development. Delivered in partnership with local biodiversity charity Sussex Green Living, the initiative will provide a valuable habitat for pollinators and other wildlife, while helping residents learn more about the important role pollinating species play in supporting healthy local ecosystems.
Pollination Education Stations are purpose-built structures designed to highlight the crucial role that pollinators play in the eco system. They are made with repurposed materials to provide a space for pollinators like bees and butterflies to rest, breed and thrive. Carrie Cort, Founder of Sussex Green Living, says: "Working with the residents of Fairway Gardens has been fantastic. Each Pollination Education Station brings people closer to nature and helps communities understand the importance of biodiversity. By engaging with residents directly at the development, we are encouraging local residents to become stewards of the environment and make a positive difference in their local area."
Phil Hurring, Marketing Manager at Barratt Redrow Southern Counties, comments: "Creating spaces that support biodiversity is an important part of developing thriving communities. Our ongoing partnership with Sussex Green Living has been invaluable in helping us to achieve this goal. We're pleased to support the installation of this Pollination Education Station at Fairway Gardens and provide residents with a practical way to learn more about the natural environment around them. We hope the station will encourage residents of all ages to get involved, learn new gardening skills, and discover more about the wildlife on their doorstep."
Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes are currently building at Fairway Gardens in Angmering, offering two- three- and four-bedroom homes for sale, with prices starting from £342,500.
The Arundel and Littlehampton District Scouts have received a £1,500 donation from Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes to support the refurbishment of its facilities at the Furzefield Scout campsite off Dappers Lane, Angmering. Located nearby the Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes' Fairway Gardens development in Angmering, the campsite is a dedicated space for Scouts to explore and learn about the great outdoors.
The donation, provided by the Barratt Redrow Foundation, will contribute towards the Scouts' refurbishment of the campsites shower and toilet facilities. This includes the conversion of unused toilet facilities into additional showers and the installation of a new roof to help protect the building for years to come. The project follows the recent renovations of the campsite's toilet block, which was hand-built by the organisations' dedicated team of volunteers over the past 12 months. The donation follows a previous contribution from Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes in June, where the housebuilders donated tree saplings to support the Scouts in enhancing the campsite's natural surroundings.
Katie Frost, Campsite Administrator at Furzefield Scout Campsite, said: "Our campsite is used by hundreds of young people every year, so keeping the facilities safe and fit for purpose is incredibly important. As a volunteer-run organisation, we rely heavily on donations and the dedication of our volunteers to make improvements like this possible. The support from Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes will make a real difference towards upgrading our shower facilities and ensuring the campsite can continue to be enjoyed by young people for years to come."
Phil Hurring, Marketing Manager at Barratt Redrow Southern Counties, said: "The Furzefield Scout campsite is a fantastic local resource, giving young people the chance to spend time outdoors and try new things. It is great to be able to support the Scouts and play a small part in helping them to improve the campsite for all the young people who use it each year. Following our donation of tree saplings earlier this year, we're pleased to be able to support the Scouts again, this time helping them make improvements to their shower facilities."
