Corporate Volunteering

Our re-wilding projects and green walls are a core element of our corporate volunteering programme, offering hands-on volunteering days which connect teams to visible, lasting impact in their local community.

Many London schools, businesses, and estates are situated in polluted areas and children are particularly vulnerable to air pollution. Our corporate volunteering programme is designed to foster corporate social responsibility and community engagement.  

We work with businesses small and large, matching them to local communities, in order to carry out re-wilding projects that benefit both our corporate volunteers and the community.

Our team will manage the entire process, from discussing your company’s goals and number of volunteers you would like to involve, to designing the work to be done, from sourcing all materials and supplies needed, to identifying the most suitable school and liaising with them to schedule your corporate volunteering day.

What Our Corporate Volunteers Do

We help London schools, businesses, and estates in high-pollution areas install living green walls that block roadside air pollution, boost biodiversity, and create healthier, more calming spaces for students/pupils to thrive.

Corporate Volunteer Days consist of three key components: Rewilding Projects, Green Walls and School Transformation Projects

Rewilding Projects

  • Creating wildlife-friendly spaces
  • Planting and biodiversity improvements

Green Walls

  • Improving air quality
  • Greening school and community spaces

School Transformation Projects

  • Building planters
  • Outdoor learning spaces
  • Community gardens

What We Do For The Environment

We help London schools, businesses, and estates in high-pollution areas install living green walls that block roadside air pollution, boost biodiversity, and create healthier, more calming spaces for students to thrive.

These projects positively impact the area in 3 ways: biodiversity, air quality, and well-being.

Biodiversity

Biodiversity is the variety of plant and animal life in the world or in a particular habitat. 

Cities need naturally biodiverse green spaces to make them healthy and enjoyable places to live in. Creating urban green spaces also achieves a biodiversity net-gain.

Air Quality

Plants in cities clean the air by removing harmful pollutants like nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter (PM).

Recent studies show significant results for green walls’ ability to reduce surrounding air pollution. One study by King’s College London found NO2  reduced by 23 per cent when a green wall was placed between a busy road and a school playground.

Wellbeing

Research by University of Exeter found people who spent at least two hours a week in local green spaces experienced improved psychological wellbeing.
 
The improvement of well-being, the feeling of relaxation and better concentration are also a result of the interaction of living greenery.
