Pupils build nature trail at Upsall Hall

2011-07-21T08:48:46Z

Coast & Country's Future Leaders scheme has led to young people from Nunthorpe School creating a nature trail at Upsall Hall, a centre for adults with learning disabilities.

Six schools from across the Redcar & Cleveland borough have taken part in this year's Coast & Country Future Leaders initiative, which has led to one young person, Liam Dukes, winning the prize of an apprenticeship with the social enterprise company starting in 2012.

Those involved have had to devise projects that would benefit the community, which they have completed to a schedule within a certain budget.

The Nunthorpe pupils, comprising Richard Goldsbrough, James Dixon, Connah Morris and Rory Wheatley, have built a bark pathway around a pond over which they have installed a bridge. They were supported by their teacher Alison Blacklock and Coast & Country mentor Dave Shakeshaft.

Iain Sim, Chief Executive of Coast & Country, which is one of the largest housing and regeneration companies in the North East, said; "Our Future Leaders project benefits both Redcar and Cleveland residents and the young people who take part. It enables the students to use their enterprising skills, to contribute to the community and to produce something that is worthwhile."
Colin Howes, of Upsall Hall, said: "The boys have created a fantastic area for our centre users to relax in. They deserve high praise for all the time and effort they have put into the project. It would be a pleasure to work with them and Coast & Country again."

The other schools which have taken part in the Future Leaders scheme this year are Bydales in Marske, Sacred Heart and Redcar Community College, both in Redcar, Laurence Jackson in Guisborough, and Freeborough in Brotton.

The Future Leaders participants faced a series of challenges including organising community improvement projects and taking part in an outward bound course. The winning student, who has been awarded an apprenticeship of their choice with Coast & Country was selected having demonstrated exceptional initiative, team working and leadership qualities. Coast & Country offers a wide range of apprenticeships including business administration, plumbing, horticulture, IT and bricklaying.

Notes to editors: Coast & Country Housing: Established in 2001, Coast & Country took over the ownership and management of homes from Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council in July 2002.
The Company is a 'not for profit' local Housing Company limited by guarantee. It is a Registered Social Landlord (RSL) and is regulated by the Tenant Services Authority.
As the largest RSL within Redcar and Cleveland, its current rental housing stock totals 10,309.
Its properties and estates are located in a diverse range of urban estates, seaside resorts and rural villages. Coast & Country believes that working together with local communities to find local solutions is a key factor in building and sustaining communities.
Delivering high quality homes Coast & Country is contributing to the prosperity, wider regeneration and sustainability of the communities within the immediate region and beyond.
Coast & Country aims to ensure that its regeneration work will have a positive impact on people's lives, achieving a careful balance of new homes for sale and for rent creating the kind of neighbourhoods that will flourish well into the future.
