Children’s sustainability exhibit receives £6k funding

Children’s sustainability exhibit receives £6k funding

With the help of enfinium, life skills education charity, DangerPoint (PentrePeryglon) has launched an interactive exhibit to teach children the importance of sustainable living, including the concepts of reduce, reuse and recycle and why it matters.

DangerPoint aims to educate visitors on safety lessons and life skills through experiential learning at its safety activity centre in Talacre, North Wales.

Funding from enfinium’s nearby Parc Adfer facility in Deeside has helped relaunch “Sustainable Futures”, also known as “Dyfodol Cynaliadwy”.

The design of the interactive educational exhibit was said to be inspired by the DangerPoint team’s visit to enfinium Philanthropic Community Fund own educational visitor centre, which aims to promote an understanding of the waste hierarchy.

The £6,000 exhibit funding has been awarded as part of a £30,000 enfinium Philanthropic Community Fund for organisations and community groups in England and Wales.

‘Fun and engaging’

Julie Ann Tyler, centre manager, DangerPoint, said: “We are very excited that we could update and improve our Sustainable Futures exhibit thanks to enfinium’s funding. The new displays provide a fun and engaging educational experience for visitors to learn about the importance of sustainable living and the role they can play in building a sustainable future. We are thrilled to have such an exciting addition to our visitor centre for the local community to enjoy.”

David Cottis, plant manager, enfinium Parc Adfer, said: “DangerPoint plays an important role helping visitors learn crucial skills in a unique and interactive setting. We are delighted to have contributed to the revitalised Sustainable Futures exhibit, supporting an initiative that introduces sustainability concepts early and helping empower young minds to understand the role they can plan in protecting the planet.”

Applications to enfinium’s Philanthropic Community Fund are welcomed from registered charities, schools, places of learning, not-for-profit companies, community organisations and groups. Terms and conditions as well as an application form can be found here.
