Hull & East Yorkshire Children's University

💚 HEY CU - Eco Hub 💚 Today we had the pleasure of welcoming businesses and academics to our brand new Eco Hub at Thwaite Gardens in Cottingham. We are going to be delivering engaging environmental sessions to primary school children - encouraging them to become ‘Eco Heroes’. The children will explore gardens, woodland and greenhouses, whilst learning about sustainability and their impact on the planet. If you would like to learn more about our Eco Hub and how your business could get involved, please contact Sarah Brodie s.brodie2@hull.ac.uk Thank you so much to University of Hull and the Friends of Thwaite Gardens for the use of your beautiful space. And a huge thank you to everyone that joined us this morning and shared our enthusiasm for this exciting new initiative.

We had another ACE week to round of the first half term of this academic year! Special thanks this week to Nurture a Child for sponsoring Chiltern Primary School’s year 4s on their London adventure!

Coming soon...

Another ACE week! We’ve been up to Edinburgh, down to London and out to Spurn Point as well as the team being busy with training and celebration events! Special thanks to Sewell Group and Matthew Good Foundation for sponsoring experiences this week!

What an amazing evening at the Hull Virtual Schools Celebration Event last night! We love working in collaboration with the team to deliver this event event and celebrate the achievements of the children and young people with care experience in our area. It was a huge success with lots of smiles and fun!

Foundations Live 2024 - Wow 🤩 “I’ve never seen any school class be as engaged and enthusiastic as these children have been today!” Y5 class teacher Yesterday we took y5 & 6 children from Chiltern Primary school to Foundations Live at Bishop Burton College all thanks to our bronze partner Hobson & Porter. The children were given a range of hands on activities to do, with guidance from staff and students. The children designed houses and spent time working out how much their construction would cost to build, they built brick wall pyramids and even got to visit the farm. They went around the various stalls and met so many inspiring people from the world of construction. Childrens aspirations are formed from a very early age. If they do not get exposed to different career options when they are younger it is much harder for them to keep an open mind when they are older. Foundations Live showed these children just how many opportunities there are in the construction industry. These children left the day feeling ACE (Aspirational, Confident & Engaged). Thank you so much to everyone at Hobson & Porter for another wonderful day!

Children from Thanet Primary School had an incredible day in London all thanks to our gold partners Sewell Group. The children had a jam packed day exploring the capital including visiting the Tower of London and going on a Thames river cruise. For some of these children it was their first time out of Hull and the impact the trip had on them was huge. The train home was filled with excitement, energy and enthusiasm for all the wonderful things they experienced. A special thank you to Jo Barnes, Rachel Smurthwaite and Bethany Dennett for volunteering in this trip on behalf of Sewell Group. The school made a point of not only reflecting on what a brilliant trip the children had, but also how fantastic it was that they were able to meet such inspiring role models. Thank you Sewell Group for making this possible 😊
