Building Bridges Benches

As part of our Building Bridges initiative, we are donating premium teak garden benches to Care Homes across the UK.

The initiative was developed to create safe outdoor spaces for vulnerable people by encouraging them to get outside and build bridges with others and with nature. Those who visit the bench can use it as a place to enjoy the fresh air, take a moment to reflect on the loves and friendships that last a lifetime, or to meet, talk and laugh with others.

Art Therapy

AT LAMBWOOD HEIGHTS

As a family business, the importance of caring for community is something that we keep at the forefront of our minds.

In 2022, volunteers from our sales and marketing teams visited the residents of Lambwood Heights Care Home to welcome in the upcoming holiday season with some festive art. Our team sat with the lovely residents, chatting to them about their lives whilst teaching them how to use watercolours to create their own Christmas cards.

Thanks to our lovely colleagues at Bridgman for donating a bench to Lambwood Heights Care Home in Chigwell as part of their “Building Bridges” scheme. It is a brilliant addition to the garden and getting a lot of use.
