Kinship in Nature - traineeship
From "People Powered Forest Gate & Maryland"
Go to the project
Proposed budget
GBP 2,960
Description
Kin is a nature based training center in the heart of east london. as well as delivering sessions for hundreds of families each year we pivoted into training to enable help the growing need of nature based facilitators and enable greater impact.
we launched our fully funded vocational traineeship 4 years ago to grow diversity and accessibility in the industry. a key requirement is a desire to pass this work on. we have numerous satellite projects in newham including nature builders and curious by nature who offer internships for our trainees to get experience.

Hello. I couldn’t get to the voting event today so I’m asking the same questions what I’d ask in person – what is the money being spent on? As in a rough breakdown as I want to know what I will actually get for my vote? Where is it happening?

@Jay Smith hello jay
thank you for asking.
this money will be spent on one trainee to get them delivering nature connection locally.
we have been doing this for 4 years however without funding this is no longer feasible as a small business. as we also support london living wage which has gone up extensively.
here is a story from a past trainee anand who has benifitted from this training.

@misty twigg Thank you for answering me as most projects haven't even bothered to do that but when you say all the money will be spent on one trainee what do you mean? Where exactly is this £2960 going? I want a rough breakdown please. Ive seen the application form template so you can just copy and paste your answer to the budget question. And I asked where is this happening, Ive googled you and it looks like you are a forest school in Redbridge not Newham.

@misty twigg Thank you very much for replying and confirming. Though you didnt answer about where the traineeship is taking place or deny that theyll be at your forest school once qualified which is in Redbridge, not Forest Gate/Newham.

thank you for your message.
we are proposing to continue our vocational training and grow our satalitte projects across the borough to ensure this work happens in newham where it is needed most.
