Builders Merchants Journal – BMJ Publishing to Builders Merchants and the UK merchanting industry for more than 95 years
Construction charity Band of Brothers (BoB) has completed its 52nd project, sponsored by building materials supplier Travis Perkins.
Volunteers with the charity completed a ground-floor extension for 72-year-old retired joiner Keith Parry and wife Linda, installing smooth decking to improve the exterior access around the extension making it easier for the former joiner to leave the house in his wheelchair.
Materials for the project were supplied by the Newport Gwent branch on Frederick Street.
Carine Jessamine, group marketing and digital director for Travis Perkins, said: “We are thrilled to have supported Band of Builders in the project to support Keith and Linda.
“Band of Builders does outstanding work right across the UK supporting current and former tradespeople who have fallen on difficult times. To be able to support the charity and all the fantastic volunteers on this project is a real privilege, and we hope the work helps Keith live as full a life as possible for many years to come.”
BoB also wishes to thank its supporters and sponsors who provided materials – as well as local businesses that delivered food and refreshments. This included Reconomy and Timco.
The project was completed in the 10th anniversary year of the charity’s first for Keith Ellick in May 2016.
