As part of their commitment to giving back. Connect Construction, a growing SME working on local projects with Sandwell Council, recently took steps to support the local community in Rowley Regis.
Bed Eden, Commercial Manager at Connect Construction, reached out to Sandwell Council’s Social Value team to find a meaningful way the company could contribute. Social Value Officer Karen Richards quickly connected them with Barnardo’s Family Support Centre, which had an overgrown, unused area at the front and side of the building in need of attention.
Supporting the community
Wasting no time, the Connect team sprang into action. Within days, they had cleared the space of brambles, weeds and overgrown grass. Completely transforming the appearance of the site.
“This is great”, said Sarah Rutter, Childrens Services Manager at Barnardos. “Many thanks to Ben and the team. The work was completed in no time and its fantastic to now have a much more attractive view for our centre’s clients using the centre. It is greatly appreciated.”
Karen added: “A big thank you to Ben and Connect Construction team for stepping in so quicky and making such a positive difference. It’s a wonderful example of how businesses can support their local communities in many meaningful ways”.
Ben Eden concluded: “We’re only a small business, but if we can help support the community, it brings a real sense of achievement. It’s rewarding to make a difference in small ways, wherever we can”.
