New outdoor space for primary school

Pupils at West Earlham Infant & Nursery School in Norwich can now enjoy a refreshed outdoor space to play and learn in thanks to volunteers from local organisations.

In May 2026, BITC and Groundwork East arranged a volunteering day attended by over 20 volunteers from several local businesses to improve the school’s grounds. Volunteers spent the day installing a new fence, planting a mixed hedgerow, repainting a shed, and adding enhanced safety and privacy features for one of the school’s outdoor spaces, which is used by staff and pupils for both playing and learning.

As well as volunteering on the day, Orbit sponsored the event, whilst community and environmental charity, Groundwork East, provided the equipment and expertise for volunteers to use.
