The Wilderness Foundation is a local charity based in Chelmsford which promotes conservation and environmental education. Their educational and therapeutic programs aim to reconnect young individuals and adults with society and themselves through outdoor experiences, therapy, and mentoring. These programs highlight the positive effects of natural environments on personal and community well-being while fostering a sense of responsibility towards nature through “Leave No Trace Ethics” instruction and volunteering opportunities.
The respected charity approached us in September of this year with a request for the provision of materials to refurbish their existing storage shed roof. This structure had deteriorated due to exposure to harsh weather conditions over the years and the overall age of the unit facility. Having tended the same plot for over 14 years, it was time for a much-needed upgrade.
As a family business, helping and supporting local charities and communities is something near and dear to our hearts. We were able to supply the necessary materials for the project in addition to our helpful and friendly transport team being more than willing to deliver the goods to site. Felt underlay was also provided in order to give the OSB and felt longevity and add that extra weather protection for the future.
A communal lunch was held in late October in aid of RHS’s #BigFoodShare with soups made from the produce grown in the allotments and an event to come together to work and celebrate the planning of the new shed. Kate Lackenby who is the horticultural facilitator for the Wilderness Foundation stated “I am absolutely thrilled that you’d like to donate all of the materials for this project – this is way beyond anything I hoped you might do, and will really have a massive impact on the allotment.”
