Somercotes Team goes back to school

Employees cleared land, erected a new fence around their pond and provided some planters to Blackwell Primary School.

Supervisor Sonny Netto commented, “We contacted the school to offer assistance as part of our Lendahand projects this year. They were delighted as they had an area around the pond in their sports field that was unsafe and staff had to keep children away from this area during play times. This was obviously a hazard for the children and school staff had to be extra vigilant!

Our Timber supplier Rainbridge kindly donated the fence for the pond and our employees put in some hard work to turn the area around, clear the land and erect the fence around the pond.

It was a great project and we are proud to have helped improve the safety of the school’s environment, we had lots of inquisitive children looking through our cordons during the works!!!

The transformation was amazing with both staff and children delighted. It was a pleasure to help out in our local community and the school has kindly invited our site to their summer fete"
