Artificial Grass Donation to Support a New Sensory Garden

As part of our ongoing partnership with Ravenshall Special School, located less than half a mile down the road from our store, we donated over 160m2 of artificial grass to help transform their outdoor space into a brand new sensory garden. 

As a local school which caters for children with complex needs, Ravenshall has been working tirelessly on a new sensory garden for its pupils. Over the past 12 months, The School has been transforming its outdoor space. 

The garden, completed in July 2024, features a sensory swing, water feature, tactile panels, a sensory hammock as well as planters and plants to stimulate students’ all five senses. 

Ravenshall School is committed to providing a relevant education for its pupils and preparing them for a world of independence as good citizens. It hopes that this new sensory garden will provide a new way for its pupils to learn and engage with the world around them, while sticking to the core beliefs on inclusivity and providing opportunity for each student to achieve their very best. 

Ben Toomes, Director at The Flooring Outlet said:

“The work Ravenshall do, not just with this project but across their entire curriculum, is nothing short of incredible. We have such high admiration for their team and the young people attending, and we’re very proud to have played a small part in creating their sensory garden through our donation. As a company last year, we donated close to £10,000 across our community causes. In 2024 we have pledged to double this, and this donation goes a long way to ensuring we achieve this goal.”

Another Delighted Customer

Charlotte Gray-Sharpe, Fundraising Manager for Ravenshall Special School, shared how much the donation and continued support means to the school and its pupils:

Ben and the team at The Flooring Outlet has been an invaluable support to Ravenshall School providing over £7500 worth of artificial grass free of charge, sponsoring our girls football team, supporting our events with donations always doing so with a hugely positive attitude and outlook.  We honestly can’t thank you then enough and the changes they have helped support are truly making a difference in their local community.
