Selco Builders Warehouse supply ‘Buddy Bench’ to local school

Selco Builders Warehouse have supplied materials for a ‘Buddy Bench’, designed by Wellbeing ambassadors at Claremont Primary School to ensure none of their fellow pupils feel alone.

The builders merchant, which has a store on Radford Road in Nottingham, answered the request of the Nottingham school and Councillor Shuguftah Quddoos, for support by providing the materials for the project.

As part of the support, Selco provided a range of materials including concrete blocks, fence posts, topsoil and cement.

Adam Newbold, deputy manager of Selco Nottingham, said: “When we received the letter from the pupils at Claremont School, it really touched the hearts of all our team. To see children as young as eight and nine coming up with such an innovative idea and making it reality is fantastic and we were thrilled to supply the materials for the buddy bench.

“Hopefully the bench will become the location where lots of school friendships are formed.”
