At Cherry Tree Gardens in Blackpool, members of the local community and pupils from St Georges School are working together to create a new path which will benefit all.

The company has provided the materials for the new path, Managing Director Ray Eyre said: “As a company we always like to help the local community and this is a worthwhile project that everyone was involved in and everyone will benefit from.”

Blackpool Council’s Community Volunteers leader Neil Froggett has developed the Cherry Tree Gardens project from small beginnings seven years ago.

St. George’s Acting Head Mr Dan Berry said: “The whole project has been fantastic and this has transformed this area. We’re going to keep this going because the social value is immeasurable.”

Regional Director Steve Jackson said “From my own experience of playing, managing and coaching teams, I know how difficult it is to find sponsors, especially in the current economic climate. The regular construction work that the company undertakes through the North Yorkshire County Council’s Framework allows us to give something back to the local community”.

The students were given a site tour by the Site Supervisor and then given a short presentation on the project by members of the construction team followed by a question and answer section with the Site Manager. Staff from various disciplines attended the event and spoke to students regarding construction techniques, company procedures we have in place, matters of programming and the various stages of a project.
