Prudential 4 Youth
The Grafton is proud to be participating in another Prudential 4 Youth project involving a local school and Crime Concern. This is an exciting social enterprise project, allowing young people to devise creative solutions to anti-social behaviour.
Pupils from Coleridge School will work in small groups and form 'companies' with a mentor volunteer from local businesses, guiding them through the stages and helping with creative ideas.
Grassroots
The Grassroots project is part of the multiple award winning Prudential Grass Roots programme. Supported by The Grafton and Cambridge City Council, and run by the UK's leading practical conservation charity, BTCV. The project involved consulting with the local community as to best to develop the site for wildlife and the community. The project has given local people the opportunity to play an active role in their local community and has helped to raise awareness of the value of urban green spaces.
