Employees
at the Head Office Beverley-based carpet and upholstery and disaster
restoration specialists Chem-Dry swapped their desks and computer
keyboards for paint rollers and shovels as they headed out into
their local community to give a helping hand.
The
group spent the day re-painting playground games and potting planters
at Cavendish Primary School, while others got stuck in with a
spot of painting at charity funded drug-support organisation Compass
UK in Hull, as part of the business’ Corporate Responsibility
programme.
With
the generous support of local organisations such as Coletta and
Tyson, coupled with donations from family and friends, the group
were self-sufficient, enabling them to source all the tools for
the jobs themselves.
Nicola
Whitham, Assistant Head Teacher at Cavendish Primary, said:
“We
are so grateful that Chem-Dry took the time to help prepare planters
and paint our playground markers. We don’t receive funds
for such work so we really appreciate their kind generosity. Since
Chem-Dry’s visit, we have planted bulbs in time for Spring,
with the help of parents and family, and have made good use of
the ground markers to teach the children road safety and other
useful life skills.”
