Employees from housebuilder Vistry Group gave up their time to give the garden furniture and outdoor area at Age Concern Bishop’s Stortford a new lease of life.
Eight members of staff volunteered to do some painting and weeding at The New Apton Centre as part of Mental Health Awareness Week.
“We often struggle to find the time to complete certain tasks, so Vistry’s generosity to help has been much appreciated,” said centre manager Annabelle Caley. “It is wonderful to receive help and introduce new faces to our community.”
“Being mainly voluntarily run, we appreciate all the help we can get as we often have shortages of volunteers, so Vistry’s support has been so helpful and we are so thankful.”
Vistry Eastern is building new homes under its Bovis Homes brand at the Stortford Fields development.
“Because of the excellent work they do in combating loneliness among the older generation, we reached out to Age Concern Bishop’s Stortford to see if there was any way we could support their activities,” said Jason Colmer, sales and marketing director at Vistry Eastern.
“The day of volunteering was an extremely enjoyable and rewarding experience for our employees, all of whom were heartened to know that their efforts will provide a real benefit to the people who attend the day centre.”
