The impact of our charitable work...
Our charity works very hard to make a positive impact on young people. Below is a collection of films/documentaries and other material, along with television and radio appearances, which we hope collectively highlights the positive impact that our charitable work has in Norfolk schools and on our all-important young people.
2024 academic study
During the spring of 2024, Alice Metcalfe from the University of Birmingham, completed an academic study to discover how The Papillon Project was impacting the lives of young people. The results of Alice's study certainly help to confirm that we are, as a charity, indeed making a positive impact in schools and helping to create that all-important positive experience. It's very heart-warming to know that we are certainly playing a role in helping to 'sow the seeds' of inspiration in the short-term and, quite possibly, inspiring young people to 'give it a grow' when they reach adulthood (long-term).
No Straight Lines
Our charity's main film (2022)
No Straight Lines (directed by Louis Johnson) is a film that represents our connection to nature, alternative-education and the spirit of doing things a little differently, nested inside the subject of school gardening and the work of our charity, proving the beneficial impact school gardening has on young people, educators and their wider communities.
