Mission of the project

Working Together to Protect, Restore, and Sustainably Manage the Environment

A New Community-Led Environmental Initiative

We are in the early stages of establishing a community-led organisation focused on protecting, restoring, and sustainably managing the environment. Built on a shared commitment to people, place, and long-term impact, our aim is to develop practical projects that bring communities and nature closer together.

As we grow, we are laying the foundations for a programme of work that combines environmental action, skills development, and community wellbeing.

Our Purpose

Our goal is to create opportunities for individuals and communities to actively take part in caring for their local environment, while developing valuable skills and improving health and wellbeing.

We are working towards delivering:

Environmental conservation and land-based projects
Community-led outdoor activities and engagement
Practical skills development in environmental work
Initiatives that support biodiversity and sustainable land use

Building the Project

We are currently in the development phase, working with partners to shape the project, establish resources, and design a programme that responds to local needs.

This includes:

Developing project plans and delivery models
Establishing equipment and operational requirements
Creating partnerships with local organisations
Designing a clear and accessible programme for participants

Training & Development

A key part of our vision is to invest in people. As the project develops, we aim to support members and volunteers to access relevant training that builds confidence, skills, and future opportunities.

Where possible, we will seek to fund training in areas such as conservation, land management, health and safety, and leadership—helping individuals grow while strengthening the organisation.

Looking Ahead

Our ambition is to become a trusted organisation delivering meaningful environmental projects, supporting communities, and contributing to a more sustainable future.

Get Involved

We are currently building the foundations of this project and welcome interest from individuals, partners, and supporters who would like to be part of the journey.

Together, we can create something that makes a lasting difference.

Recent Environmental Conservation Experience

As part of our commitment to developing practical environmental skills and community-led conservation, we recently participated in a volunteering day with The Conservation Volunteers (TCV), supporting woodland improvement work at Francis Askew Primary School.

The project focused on transforming part of the school’s woodland area into an outdoor classroom and nature learning space, creating an environment where children and the wider community can engage with nature and learn about woodland ecosystems.

Our activities included:

Woodland management and habitat improvement
Clearing overgrown vegetation and invasive weeds
Creating pathways and accessible open spaces within the woodland
Building habitat piles to support insects, small mammals, and biodiversity
Selective thinning of trees to allow more sunlight to reach the woodland floor, encouraging healthier growth and regeneration

The experience provided valuable insight into practical conservation techniques, sustainable land management, and the importance of maintaining balanced woodland habitats.

This hands-on involvement has strengthened our understanding of how environmental projects can deliver multiple benefits—supporting biodiversity, improving community spaces, developing skills, and creating opportunities for people to connect with the natural world.

A Day Out in York – Nature, Friendship & Community

We recently enjoyed a wonderful full-day community trip to York, bringing people together for a day of nature, friendship, exploration and shared experiences.

The trip was made possible through the generous support of Hull and East Riding Charitable Trust, Welcome House, CROGGI CIC and Hull International Carnival.

For many people, opportunities to enjoy a full day away from home can be difficult to access. This trip provided a chance to step away from the everyday routine, enjoy the outdoors and discover somewhere new — together as a community.

A whole day of exploring

Everyone travelled together by coach, with free coach travel provided for participants. Refreshments and drinks were also provided throughout the day, helping everyone relax and enjoy the experience.

York gave us plenty to see and enjoy, with its beautiful historic surroundings, green spaces, riverside scenery and opportunities to simply walk, talk and take in the atmosphere.

For some, it was about discovering York for the first time. For others, it was simply about enjoying a day out with friends and meeting other members of the community.

There was no pressure to do anything in particular. People could explore, chat, take photographs, enjoy the surroundings or simply sit and enjoy a drink together.

Thank you to everyone who made it possible

A very special thank you goes to Warda Sehili from Welcome House, who organised the trip and helped bring everything together.

We would also like to thank Hull and East Yorkshire Yorkshire Charity Trust, Welcome House, CROGGI CIC and Hull International Carnival for supporting this community experience.

And a big thank you to Acklams Coaches for providing the coach and helping us travel safely and comfortably to York and back.

Most importantly, thank you to everyone who came along and helped make the day such a friendly and enjoyable experience.

More than just a day trip

At Stewardship Works CIC, we believe that community activities do not always have to be complicated. Sometimes a simple day out, a shared journey and the opportunity to meet people can make a real difference.

A coach full of people travelling together, sharing conversations, seeing new places and making memories is itself a form of community building.

We hope this is just one of many opportunities for people in Hull and East Yorkshire to get together, explore, learn and enjoy new experiences.

Community • Creativity • Circular Innovation

Together, we can make more opportunities happen.
