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.
