🌿Environmental Sustainability & Biodiversity

We’re proud to care for a beautiful and varied space at the heart of our village, from our play area and MUGA to the mature trees and natural habitats behind the hall. As a volunteer‑run charity, we’re committed to protecting and enhancing these green spaces for wildlife and for everyone who uses the hall.

This Biodiversity Plan sets out how we look after our environment today and how we’ll continue to improve it for the future.
