Durham Wildlife Trust is one of 14 organisations chosen to deliver a UK wide pilot scheme enabling thousands of school children to participate in high-quality enrichment activities, including outdoor experiences, volunteering, sports, and arts.
The Enrichment Partnerships Pilot is being overseen by the National Citizen Service, and The Duke of Edinburgh Award, on behalf of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, and the Department for Education.
The year-long pilot is focusing on marginalised young people in targeted areas of England, with Durham Wildlife Trust commissioned to work with ten Secondary schools in Sunderland and South Tyneside.
