Passion for where we live

Having personally grown up in the local area, I am incredibly passionate about my town and the local communities that surround us. It’s where I call home, but my modern community vision is fed from an amalgamation of living and travelling experiences of other inspiring places. Beyond my own personal passion, our team is largely made up of local or adopted local creatives that enjoy the community that we work and live in. Community is at the core of the Sanders + Jay and STONES philosophy and will remain as part of our mission as we move forward. When it comes to giving back to the community, any action big or small can make a real difference. We have made a pledge to take part in a community activity every month. Our community programme is led by our Community Development Manager and newest member on the team; Jenna Johnson. Jenna has an abundance of experience of working with the community, already known by many Passion for where we live in the area, and she has a true passion for helping people and businesses alike.

“I am so excited to join the STONES team. It puts me in a position to really make a difference to local businesses. The magazine is rapidly growing and I love being a part of it”.

Our most recent activities in the local area include; litter picking across the town, largely on the heath and commercial areas, which seem to be affected the most and we are making an active plea to think about your litter rather than relying on post pick up.

In addition to this, we have sponsored an array of local community events such as the Royston Football Tournament, Hanson Services Charity Golf Day and we are actively working on more community projects which we can’t wait to share with you.

If we all continue to make positive contributions towards our community, it will be a place that we are all truly proud to call home. Sometimes giving back to the community is as simple as giving, but we want to do more than that and take an active stance on making our home a better place to live.

If you have a community project and would like to discuss gaining the support and help of our team, please get in touch and we would be happy to discuss it over a coffee. Josh Murphey
