Employees dug deep during the Half Term break (literally) and spent a few days clearing woodland and building planters for a local primary school in Solihull as part of an initiative created by Match My Project and Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council.
The Match My Project portal provides a platform for local schools, community groups, small businesses and charity organisations to post requests for support in delivering small projects to benefit the area and businesses, such as ourselves, can sign up to the portal and commit to taking part in any of the requests posted and provide free resource, materials or support to deliver the work.
As part of our social value commitment to Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council under a current contract we are delivering, we identified some opportunities with Haslucks Green Primary School and worked with the school to clear parts of their forest school to make way for new planting areas and screening as well as constructing some planters ready for the pupils to start using as part of their curriculum.
