Through their ideas and initiative, they have been influencing what projects will be run in their local community. The initiative is sparking curiosity in natural heritage, local greenspace, animals, history, photography and nature for kids who are very sadly at risk of disengaging from learning and education. Instead, they are finding confidence, building a sense of agency, igniting new passions and interests and equipping them with a new set of transferable skills as they move into secondary education.

This is a fairly new partnership between local authority youth work partners, RSPB, John Muir Trust, supported by the David Doig Foundation and the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
