Royal United Hospitals Bath: how long patients waited for NHS treatment in OctoberUniversity Hospitals of Bristol and Weston: how long patients waited for NHS treatment in October
Less than three in five A&E arrivals at Royal United Hospitals Bath seen within four hoursChildren from across the school met with representatives from CFH, including ‘Treesa Green’, to plant the new trees on their school field.
The school has been working hard on their outdoor areas in recent weeks, planting sixty new trees last week following a grant from the Woodland Trust. They are hoping, with this new batch of trees, to build up their woodland area and create a sound barrier to protect the school from the busy road that runs alongside it.
CFH Docmail, who are based not far from the school, has been championing the environment with a partnership with The Woodland Trust over the last twenty years and have so far planted 100,000 trees.
This year, for National Tree Week, staff from CFH visited Westfield Primary School to deliver saplings and help pupils to plant the trees. Also visiting was CSR Co-ordinator, ‘Treesa Green’, who read Treesa Green Goes To School, a new children’s book
designed to help children understand how trees benefit the world they live in, to the pupils.
