Oxhill Nursery School Green Leaders Project

The ‘Oxhill Green Leaders’ project involved twenty five children from Oxhill Nursery School, in Stanley on a across the spring and summer of 2025.The sessions enabled the young people to become ‘Green Leaders’ and actively engage in ecology and sustainability based activities. The programme provided early intervention to prevent longer term mental health issues and also included the production of a documentary film, an external visit to Gibside (National Trust) as chosen by the children themselves and a final celebration event. We were also delighted that the success of the programme was recognised by the award of a Silver Medal from 'Northumbria in Bloom'.
