Building sustainable, flourishing communities is crucial to our operation and we take seriously our responsibilities to our residents and community neighbours. Being a good and considerate neighbour is our default mode whether it be within our ScholarLee residences or outside in our neighbourhood.

→ Residents Association – ScholarLee is actively involved
with the Magazine Road and Surrounding Areas
Residents Association and we have a very strong
relationship.

→ Clean Up Day – ScholarLee team and residents
participate in regular litter pick events with the
Magazine Road Residents Association

→ Art can brighten and illuminate all our environments -
we have commissioned artworks from Mad About Cork
for Magazine Road funded by Cork City Council. Another
piece commissioned and funded by ScholarLee will
shortly be unveiled at our Mardyke site.

→ Sponsorships – ScholarLee is delighted to be a sponsor
of UCC Rugby and Sunday’s Well Tennis Club.

→ In non-covid years we have had coffee mornings at
complexes for residents to meet and get to know each
other, organised by SL with hot drinks and food from
local cafes/restaurants.

→ This year we have run a number of residents’
promotions / giveaways consciously supporting SME
businesses in the area – Rising Sons Brewery, Oak Fire
Pizza, Joes and Bros and more.

→ All waste is required to be separated – communal and within each residence.

→ Separation includes for food waste/composting; glass; plastics; paper etc.

→ Battery recycling boxes at entrances to complexes.

→ ScholarLee does not permit the use of herbicides or
insecticides in our gardens. We plant in season,
appropriately incorporating good gardening practices to
encourage beneficial insect and animal life.

→ Magazine Road also has pumpkin patches, pumpkins
grown each year are given to residents of complexes for
carving at Halloween – check out our Insta posts from
last October.

→ Bishop Street has a large mature & private garden, rare
in such a city centre location, with a wonderful variety of
planting from native broadleaf trees to annual
wildflowers as well as pumpkin and potato planting each
year. The garden is a much loved asset of our residents
here attracting pollinators, bird life and offering a calm
and reflective space to meditate, take the sun or enjoy al
fresco meals.

→ ScholarLee has signed up to the All-Ireland Pollinator
Plan by the National Biodiversity Data Centre.

→ The plan of action is to A. Protect areas that are already
providing food and shelter for pollinators, B. Reduce
mowing under a pollinator friendly regime and C.
Pollinator friendly planting such as clover lawn, native
wildflower meadow, pollinator friendly flower beds, trees
and shrubs as well as pollinator friendly containers.
