CROW Recycling

Registered charity number: 1028076
Crow Recycling provides work placements for disabled people, mainly people with learning difficulties. We do this by running a number of social enterprises including confidential waste destruction, sale of animal bedding, processing used drinks cans, processing large second hand book donations and running a second hand arts and crafts materials shop. Our disabled volunteers gain skills such as operating machinery, safe manual handling and customer service. They also pick up social skills for work and have the opportunity to learn some customer service skills. Some of our volunteers move on to more demanding placements or a paid job while others are with us long term. Our Scrapstore, selling donated items for arts and crafts, diverts materials such as surplus fabric from soft furnishing companies away from landfill. The Scrapstore also makes crafting a more affordable hobby for our customers.

“Brilliant Schools aims to equip children for a bright future, instilling a positive long-lasting legacy. The Movement for Good Award will help us to create a sizeable positive ripple effect bringing out the best in the next generation of Harrow.”
Dr Andy Cope, Founder, Brilliant Schools

What our donation will help fund

The Movement for Good Award will underpin an initiative to directly galvanise 750 pupils, staff and parents across eight different primary schools in Harrow.  We are excited to share cutting edge research on the Science of Flourishing, equipping whole-school communities with the practical tools, know-how and resources to flourish both in and out of the classroom.

Brilliant Schools will be able to deliver in-person face-to-face bespoke training for different stakeholders, providing ongoing mentoring and support to embed aspirational behaviours amongst the wider community.

Children will develop the awareness and understanding of self and others to bolster mental health and wellbeing, take greater ownership of their learning and understand the positive impact they can make in today’s world. Schools will receive a wealth of structured supplementary resources to help embed a positive transformational culture within the community.
