Meeting community and environmental targets....

Our mission is to improve the quality of life for 250,000 children by re-using 5,000 tonnes of business waste by 2020.

Why? Because children need to play to be healthy. Children have a shortage of play

materials and space to play, and everything today is more expensive. Happy children learn

better, develop faster, are more confi dent socially and enjoy their surroundings. Your waste

targets can provide for their play.

“You used to have to walk around and imagine but now you have the materials to

do your ideas.” - Child, Fonthill Primary
