Dewalt has sponsored Band of Builders to help complete a deceased father’s unfinished renovations to his Norfolk family home.
When electrician and father-of-six Shaun Fletcher took his own life on Christmas Eve, leaving his home renovations unfinished, Sarah Fletcher turned to national construction charity Band of Builders for help to complete a room for her 16-year-old son Toby Fletcher, who requires round-the-clock palliative care amid a battle with quadriplegic cerebral palsy and dystonia.
The registered charity, which completes practical projects to help members of the UK construction industry and their families who are battling illness or injury, volunteered their time to complete not just the room, but all the renovations, as well as landscape the front and back of the house.
The project was sponsored by DEWALT and supported by a range of national and local businesses alongside more than 150 tradespeople from across the UK .
Tim Winstanley, senior brand manager at DEWALT, said: “As a proud sponsor of this project, everyone at DEWALT is deeply moved by the compassion and dedication shown by every volunteer. Their selfless work embodies the true spirit of our industry, coming together to support those in need. We are proud to play our small part in that journey, helping to make a real difference to the lives of families like the Fletchers.”
