Building a Better Society for All
Problem solvers Blunt Construction have been busy helping the young and the not-so-young, donating their free time to help two important charities. Both the Winchester Scouts and Intouch Support, an organisation dedicated to working with people who need help to live independently, have recently been benefitting from Blunt Construction’s community support projects.
Every year Blunt Construction choose a charity to support, providing them with the same high standards of labour that their commercial client’s benefit from. This year, the Winchester Scouts were chosen but the company were also keen to lend a hand to the vulnerable members of society that Intouch Support work with.
As a result, the Winchester Scouts have seen their Pinsent campsite in Hampshire redeveloped to include an extended and refurbished car park, a meeting/multi-activity room and even the formation of a new archery range! And, whenever staff at the Hampshire-based construction company have a moment to spare, they are also out and about helping the region’s elderly residents who depend on the assistance of charity Intouch Support. From garden clearing, mending leaky sheds, fixing fence panels or even helping with conservatories, residents have been helped with a whole range of maintenance and management projects.
Colin Brooks, Commercial Director of Blunt Construction, said: “In the current financial climate, we don’t want to be one of the many doom mongers and so we’re proud to be able to support charities in our region in a practical way. You often hear stories of elderly and less able residents who need assistance and we’re absolutely delighted to lend a hand whenever we can. And Winchester Scouts is a great way of encouraging young children to be active in society, so we’re more than happy to offer this support. For us, being a successful business also means putting something back into the wider community – after all, we’re supposed to be constructive!”
Winchester Scouts District Commissioner, Carol Pannell, said: “As if by magic, Blunt Construction, with its considerable expertise, has done in seven weeks more than we have been able to achieve in seven years. It is without doubt one of the most valuable contributions an external organisation has been able to offer to us and we are extremely grateful for their support”
Andrew Rolt, Winchester District Scout Chairman, added: “This is a rare visionary approach being taken by Blunt Construction. This commitment and effort has really enhanced the delivery of quality Scouting in the area.”
