Creating Opportunity - Changing Lives
In the summer of 2004, about 200 trees were cut down at a site in Beaumont Leys known as Beaumont Walk, to improve access and visibility as part of the ‘Safe Neighbourhoods’ scheme.
Soft Touch worked with about 60 local children and young people over a two-week period in August, using the fallen trees to create sculptures and furniture, which was left on site.
The project was a great success in that the local young people were able work together to make their area a brighter, safer and more attractive place to live and play. The project has been commended not just by the younger community residents but also by parents, older residents, local youth projects and the police and was featured on a local television news broadcast.
