Community Projects
The contractors we work with contribute to a pot of money for Stevenage communities to bid for a share so that they can carry out community projects.
They also give their time to be involved in various community projects from cleaning up a pond to co-hosting a Macmillan cancer support coffee morning. They have made food donations, worked with Year 10 students in local schools, and employed local labour to work on various building projects.
The Breyer Group generously donated 13 hampers which were distributed to some of our deserving residents.
The MBDA site team completed a volunteering morning with the Stevenage Vineyard food bank where food donations were brought in or collected. There was a range of different items that were dropped off by the construction manager and social value lead, to a local collection point. The donations will be distributed across the community to assist those in need.
The site team with the support of contractors CLG and Harringtons were involved in the planting of flowers on site as part of World Bee Day. The team worked together to make planters by up-cycling old pallets creating vegetable and flower patches to support the bees with their essential role in keeping our planet healthy.
