Community DIY SOS
Recent Community Project
We have recently got involved with a fantastic community project. It’s for a local school here in Surrey who provide some classes for autistic children who are trying to better its outside space.
Myself, Gary Newell of Jigsaw Construction Surrey, and Lee Moran of Moran Roofing Specialists Ltd, decided to help by asking our regular suppliers if they could and would also get involved.
They did! Brewers Decorator Centres, Covers Timber & Builders Centre (Aldershot),
Jewson , Travis Perkins (Farnham) and Altis Tools (Lindford) were all happy to help.
In addition to Jigsaw Construction Surrey Ltd and Moran Roofing Specialist Ltd, we also asked several other trades- electricians, chippies, and painters. We put a DIY SOS post out on social media to ask for support. We also suggested asking parents and local companies to sponsor playhouses, and the school were thrilled when three companies said yes!
Both Lee and I like to give back to the community locally as much as we can, so this seemed like a great project to get involved with.
We didn’t get everything done on the day, so we are arranging another day during half term to help again with Phase two.
Here is what a staff member had to say:
“Ahhh it was such a great day!!! We didn’t get everything done but plan another day of parent volunteering to finish it off!
We couldn’t have done it without yours and Lee’s help though, it was just brilliant!!
All of the stuff you say about coming up is amazing too, it’s totally transforming the school, which I then hope will attract new pupils and families!
The day had such a lovely community feel!”
