Drain Art

Our latest project has started well with pupil workshops in 3 schools – St Michael’s Middle, Colehill, Heatherlands Primary, Poole, and Mudeford Junior, Christchurch, exploring the impact of litter on our local and global environment.

The pupils have been very engaged and have already come up with great ideas and ‘drain art’ designs to be created. With the help of an artist some of these will be installed in the local community to raise awareness about the issues of pollution on our rivers and the sea.

This project has made been possible thanks to funding from the Wessex Water Foundation Environment Fund via Dorset Community Foundation.  We are currently seeking more funding to take this Drain Art work across the county and into South Wiltshire schools, helping children everywhere become active, responsible local and global citizens!
