We are raising funds to create natural pollution barriers in schools across the areas where we live and work.

Story

Schools are depending on their outdoor areas more than ever before as they deal with the pandemic to provide outdoor learning and education to children. But many schools are located near busy main roads with no barrier, opening them up to air pollution that can cause lasting effects on the children that go there.That's why I'm raising funds for Groundwork to create natural pollution barriers in primary schools.Groundwork are a charity passionate about creating a future where every neighbourhood is vibrant and green, every community is strong and able to shape its own destiny and no one is held back by their background or circumstances. That's a mission that we are proud to support at Balfour Beatty by giving school children in our communities the opportunity to access green space and learn outdoors.Thank you so much for your support!
