LASER don’t just work with suppliers to provide successful energy solutions, we also encourage additional value to be delivered through our contracts, too!

The Challenge
There was a desire to provide this opportunity to schools that were less likely to have the ability to fund the experience themselves, so enquiries were made with a selection of relevant sites in the local area. As school calendars are generally stretched for any spare time, it was a big challenge to get the funding awarded to schools that could commit to a visit in the final term before the summer.

The Journey
In the end, we had three classes from two schools attend the outdoor learning sessions, and the children spent the day exploring the nature reserve, helping increase their knowledge of wild plants and animals, and generally learning to appreciate the wilderness around them!

Plans for the Future
As Kent Wildlife Trust say – “nature is in trouble, and it needs our help” – so we’d love for you to help us play our part with our energy suppliers through funded trips or requests for relevant equipment to aid learning in this area.

“Amazing from start to finish”
“We weren’t sure what to expect from the day, however, having completed a
fabulous fun filled educational day, we were pleasantly surprised! The children’s
favourite activity was the pond dipping, where they were able to catch, identify
& release a range of water-based minibeasts that they hadn’t seen before.
They had an amazing time from start to finish”
