Onward Homes
Supporting Onward Homes’ important learning and leisure site for local community.
The Axis Foundation is donating £3,540 to purchase Bee habitats and planters and other pollinator friendly items.
“We’re really excited to see the difference that this new community space will make to the lives of our residents on North Hill Street. And we are delighted to have the support of the Axis Foundation with this project. Urban green spaces are so important in boosting health and wellbeing. The items donated by Axis will help bring nature nearer to our customers, whilst supporting pollinators in the process” – Sajida Kerbalai-Blackburn, Social Investment Specialist
More about the project
Onward Homes is creating this new community space from derelict space in direct response to resident feedback and research. And, as well as building a stronger community the new space will help improve mental health and wellbeing, particularly of those who are isolated or lonely. Residents with no outdoor space will be able to enjoy the planted area. And there will also be educational benefits for community groups and local schools. Onward estimates about 1,000 local people will enjoy the new space.
