An exciting project based in the Former East Kent Coalfields area, involving the local youth clubs, schools and community organisation, with the special participation of the Dover & District Beekeepers Association. The objectives of the project are to promote local food, healthy eating, and the environment. These objectives will be achieved by holding workshops in the field of beekeeping linked to honey production.

A remarkable project involving pupils at the Ashford special school learning about Kent’s fruit and vegetable growing heritage by getting hands-on experience in creating a new garden and orchard. The project, is taking place in six acres of land within the grounds of The Wyvern School. It will enable children to take an active role in the formation of the gardens and orchard, as well as a bee and insect sanctuary which is essential for fruit pollination. The project will involve the children from the school which cater for the needs of pupils with profound, severe and complex learning needs aged 5 to 19. The local community, will be involved in contributing towards the success of the project. Pupils from mainstream schools participate in assisting the project and acquire a better understanding of the needs of the special school’s children.

A fascinating project involving children from the Northwood special school, which is a pupil referral unit for KS3 pupils with emotional and behavioural difficulties and is part of KCC Attendance and Behaviour Service. We are keen to guide pupils to understand and experience how different subjects and activities could lead to future employment opportunities for them and the beekeeping project fits in neatly and is connected to healthy lifestyles, outdoor activities and the environment.

Funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. Over 200 young people from East Kent have benefitted from workshops related to bumblebees and honeybees and have set up a young advisory group. In addition the young people have undertaken surveys of bees as well as learning conservation skills.
