On 22nd August, SBS took part in a resident fun-day in Cheltenham. It was organised by SBS liaison officers, Samantha Thompson and Naomi Davis.
Held close to our site compound - the centre of operations for our ongoing external wall insulation project in Cheltenham - the event was attended by residents, site staff and representatives of Cheltenham Borough Homes.
As we previously reported, SBS has been appointed onto the Environmental Works framework for First Choice Homes Oldham (FCHO).
Work on our first phase is now complete but, over the early summer, SBS has been helping out with an additional project that has been designed to benefit the local community at the Holly Estate in Royton.
SBS is currently delivering external repair works for Denbighshire County Council, and a range of insulation and re-roofing works for Wrexham County Borough Council. These frameworks recently gave us the opportunity to deliver some added social benefit in the form of two local charity fundraising initiatives.
As part of its work for Nottingham City Homes, SBS recently visited local schools to talk to children about site safety and careers in the building industry for women.
Sustainable Building Services has teamed up with Wrexham County Borough Council to sponsor a series of free healthy eating workshops for local children.
The agreement is enabling the food education specialist Junior Chefs’ Academy to deliver over a dozen sessions at schools and community centres. The first took place on 8th January at St Giles' Primary School in Wrexham and the programme will continue until late February. The workshops teach practical food skills and illustrate the important links between diet, lifestyle and health.
