On Monday 3rd July, members of our Social Spark team, along with a few of our clients from our John Muir Award group, were given the opportunity to meet HM King Charles!

 

Thanks to our partnership with Sustainable Thinking Scotland, our team and clients were able to speak with the King about their work in completing their John Muir Awards Level 2 and all the incredible work they have been doing at the walled garden.

 

For the past six months, our Social Spark service has been working in partnership with STS. As a result of this partnership, we have had the opportunity to run John Muir Award groups, educating our clients on conservation, nature, and campaigning. Our clients have been able to work in the walled garden, growing fresh produce for local food banks and even taking part in a beekeeping workshop.

 

Our Social Spark service helps to tackle loneliness and isolation by building confidence and connections. By providing a range of diverse community-based activity groups, like our John Muir Award group, we aim to improve social contact and encourage community connectedness.

 

Thank you once again, Sustainable Thinking Scotland, for this unforgettable opportunity! It was truly a great day.
