The foundation is delighted to have supported the cafe with the polytunnel project. The members meet every week and the tunnel has enabled year round gardening whatever the weather. 

We are delighted to have helped with funding for polytunnels at cafe 71 to help extend their gardening into the winter months.

Delighted to have helped Chapter with funding towards the development of their allotment in Hoole. 

The Swettenham Foundation have proudly pledged to support Dee Point Primary School in their bid for a new outdoor shelter.

The ‘Dee Point Stars Shelter’ will allow the children to access daily outdoor learning sessions which will foster a love for nature, a commitment to sustainability, and a sense of peace and well-being for future generations.

“It has been a long road and having you help us reach the finishing line means so much. Not only to us but to our nearly 500 children, their families and the Blacon community.”
