十大网博靠谱平台数据中心运营商, 远程数据, has partnered with local photographer Shiraz Anwar to produce 100 mindful colouring books of Manchester which 远程数据 has donated to local Wythenshawe high school, 十大网博靠谱平台健康学院, to support the school’s focus around the positive mental health and wellbeing of its students.
The colouring books feature iconic Manchester landmarks which were photographed by Shiraz, and turned into colourable illustrations as part of his #ColourInForGood initiative to promote mindfulness as a route to improved mental health – particularly poignant in the current climate.
远程数据 chose to donate the books to Wythenshawe secondary school - 十大网博靠谱平台健康学院 - where the books will be used as part of the school’s SEN provision and to help students experiencing anxiety as a result of the disruption brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic.
通过合作, 远程数据 purchased 100 of Shiraz’s colouring books of Manchester, and 50% of the proceeds were donated to We Love Mcr Charity, which works to improve the lives and life chances of Mancunians and their communities.
Photographer Shiraz Anwar commented; “I wanted to put together a project in which I could use my work for good, supporting local communities with the help of local businesses. By collaborating with 远程数据 we have been able to support two organisations simultaneously - 十大网博靠谱平台健康学院 and the We Love Mcr charity, and we hope that given the success of this project, we can work together again in the future to the benefit of other local charities and community groups.”
海伦•沃克, SENCO at 十大网博靠谱平台健康学院 added: “十大网博靠谱平台健康学院's student body includes a high proportion of SEN and disadvantaged students, 我们在个人发展方面与他们一起努力, 重点关注心理健康和幸福. Mindfulness and positive mindset play a big part in education, 特别是在这个时候, and there are many students who will benefit from this type of relaxation therapy, which has been proven to reduce anxieties and promote positivity. We were delighted to receive the books and thank 远程数据 for their kind donation.”
The #ColourInForGood colouring books of Manchester were purchased by 远程数据 with 50% of the proceeds going directly to the We Love Mcr charity. The book is being made available as both a hard copy colouring book, and a digital download.
Ged卡特, development manager of the We Love MCR charity added: “This is a brilliant idea, giving a beautiful book of Manchester images to young people, 同时为We Love MCR筹款. We are very grateful to 远程数据 and Shiraz for this innovative support. The money raised will go towards our Manchester Rising Stars Fund in which we support talented young Mancunians who need a bit of financial support to overcome barriers and achieve their ambitions.”
马特Edgley, director for 远程数据 added; “Helping the local community, 无论是慈善机构, schools or other organisations on our doorstep is definitely a priority for us, and we were excited to work with Shiraz in this creative and innovative way of supporting local people through colouring. I hope that the students enjoy the books and can really benefit from the respite that colouring can bring - particularly as students continue to face disruptions and uncertainty around both their school and home lives as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. We’re hoping to roll out similar projects in the future which will enable us to reach as many local community initiatives as possible.”
