Young Place Shapers joins the Environment Trust
Young Place Shapers (YPS) is funded by The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames and receives donations from other supporters such as Kingston University. Young people’s achievements include creating a bee garden in Canbury gardens and wildflower planting in Kings Passage, Kingston upon Thames for which YPS received a neighbourhood grant from Kingston Council.
Through its riverside project ‘Bench with a view’ YPS helped Kingston win their first ever silver gilt award for London in Bloom in 2014.
Mary Graham, Chair of Save the World Club, said “We are delighted that the Environment Trust will be taking YPS under their wing and helping to grow it over the coming years. They are committed to young people’s participation which is at the heart of this programme and will ensure SWC’s legacy continues.”
For further information about YPS activities contact Rachel Monaghan at [email protected] or call 07740 869382.
YPS is also working with The Challenge to improve places in Kingston. Read on our blog about The Challenge.
The Environment Trust's new role with regard to Young Place Shapers is explained more fully in this statement.
