Help us create Trafford Park’s first Green Community Hub!
Welcome to the Trafford Park Green Community Hub – a vibrant outdoor classroom and kitchen garden which is a sanctuary for learning, wellbeing, and environmental stewardship.
We’ve outlined below some of the features which we hope to create at Trafford Ecology Park and we are now seeking forward-thinking corporate partners to help bring this vision to life. Your support can directly contribute to sustainability, inclusion, and community resilience – and your brand can be recognised for making a tangible impact in Trafford.
Outdoor Kitchen & Growing Space
We’re looking for a corporate partner to support us to enhance and expand our outdoor kitchen area so that it’s more accessible, sustainable and functional.
We aspire to create a space which includes:
- A greenhouse
- Improved, wheelchair access throughout
- Fully functional solar-powered appliances
This space will be used with different community group for cooking demonstrations, community meals, and food education events, helping people learn more about low-carbon, locally grown food and cooking skills.
Woodland Classroom
We’re looking for a corporate partner to support us to create a woodland classroom area where community groups can connect with each other and learn about nature, fostering a sense of nature stewardship.
To make this idea a reality we plan to:
- Clear a woodland space for learning
- Enhance our outdoor classroom so its equipped with electricity, lighting and PVC windows and add a wheelchair accessible ramp
- Build a new accessible toilet near to the new space
£50,000 is needed to make these projects a reality but donations of £1,000+ can make a real difference
Participating corporate partners will receive:
- Branding on newly installed features at Trafford Ecology Park
- Recognition on our website
- Opportunity to host a corporate volunteering day with up to 40 employees
Match Funding Support
In addition to seeking direct support from our corporate partners, we are actively exploring various grant opportunities to help bring these projects to life. Many of these grants require match funding – a contribution made upfront by a third-party organisation – as a condition for unlocking their support.
We are currently seeking match funding between £5,000 and £10,000 to help us deliver the initiatives outlined above and expand their impact even further.
If your organisation can support this effort, please get in touch with our Project Manager, Louisa Smith, using the email address below.
