Dunfermline High School

Exercise Equipment

We supplied Dunfermline High School with some new equipment to help encourage teenagers to take part in regular sport and exercise after school, and increase the activities they can offer to pupils. They currently have over 100 dancers and gymnasts in clubs and this new equipment aims to keep them motivated to attend each week. The clubs the school offers are free of charge for pupils and run by the kindness of teachers who put in their time to improve pupils fitness levels and skills. All the best to the teachers and pupils in their activities!

Perth Community Farm

Great to see photos from Perth Community Farm of their raised flowers beds. We supported them, jointly with our builder Dwanged Construction, to build them. These will enable the elderly and those in wheelchairs to be involved in planting and spending time at the farm. 
We are also supporting them to install a special watering system needed to water these types of planting beds.
This is a NonProfit Organisation running a community hub right in the heart of Perth 
It will be used for learning by schools, as a social gathering for parents caring for children who would like to get outdoors, and to host days for adults and children with sensory issues.

“Our aim is to offer free creative opportunities to people in our community to improve wellbeing and reduce isolation, welcoming those that can often be excluded from learning opportunities due to long term health issues, learning disabilities, or other barriers.”
