02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

Our charity is a support service to schools in the Grampian region of Scotland, working predominantly with those in Aberdeen city. We specialise in using the urban environment for learning and teaching providing pupils with a local context for their studies. These experiences give a stimulus for further learning in the classroom. Our resources always include a sustainable development element wherever possible. Our experiences are linked to social subjects and science.
