Dyno-Rod North East Supports ‘Trees of Hope’ Community Initiative
Dyno-Rod North East is proud to have played a part in a meaningful community initiative bringing new life and lasting impact to the local area.
As part of the National Trust’s ‘Trees of Hope’ project, a Sycamore Gap sapling has been planted at the Lighthouse Project in Byker – a state-of-the-art community hub dedicated to supporting young people and families. The initiative, which sees 49 saplings planted across the UK, aims to create a legacy of hope and resilience following the loss of the iconic Sycamore Gap tree.
The planting event brought together pupils from St Lawrence Catholic Primary School and Byker Primary School, alongside community leaders, families and local organisations. The children took part in the ceremony, helping to plant the sapling and mark the start of its journey as a symbol of growth and renewal.
The Lighthouse Project, where the tree now stands, has quickly become a cornerstone of the local community. The venue offers a wide range of services including youth clubs, wellbeing programmes, and educational support, providing a safe and welcoming space for young people to thrive.
Dyno-Rod North East, was delighted to support the initiative and contribute to a project that will benefit the community for generations to come.
“We’re incredibly proud to support such a meaningful project in our local area. The ‘Trees of Hope’ initiative is a powerful reminder of resilience and renewal, and it’s inspiring to see young people playing an active role in shaping their community’s future.” – Ben Roman, Chief Executive
The Sycamore Gap sapling will continue to grow alongside the young people who helped plant it, acting as a lasting symbol of strength, hope and community spirit.
The project also highlights the importance of local collaboration, with organisations and businesses coming together to support initiatives that make a real difference on the ground.
