Apprentices Tidy North East Futures UTC Courtyard

MGL Group was delighted to support Bowmer+Kirkland’s initiative in Newcastle Upon Tyne. Our apprentices, Jacob and Elliot, cleared overgrown shrubs and raised beds at North East Futures UTC, a state-funded University Technical College. Working with the other volunteers, the team spent the afternoon tidying up the courtyard. The school’s newly formed gardening club will now have a clear space to work with.

The secondary school specialises in STEM subjects and offers a unique approach to education for those who want to pursue a career in STEM industries. Students have the opportunity to gain a real insight into the world of work coupled with tangible experience.

We are undertaking several exciting projects around the area, including Pilgrim’s Quarter. It is important that we continue to support the local community to deliver a positive impact beyond the core services we provide.

The team hopes to return later in the year to plant some more shrubs to brighten up the space.
