Yesterday, we were joined by contractors from JS Wright and Emmerson working with The Hill Group at Fenner House, where they helped the residents build new kitchen planters for residents. 

JS Wright and Emerson are currently working with The Hill Group in Elmbridge, redeveloping Thames View House in Walton-on-Thames, and they were keen to give something back to the local community.  

We’re delighted that the team signed up for Corporate Volunteering, and their skills were put to good use. Working with the residents, the team helped fill the planters, ready for the seedlings which residents have been growing. 

Rob Mills, Chief Executive at Walton Charity said: “My first job in Elmbridge thirty years ago was as a housing officer managing Thames View House, so it’s really interesting to see the re-development of the site being carried out by The Hill Group. It’s testament to their community spirit that they’ve once again helped those in the local community by taking part in Corporate Volunteering. 

“A great day was had by all, and we can’t wait to see what grows in Fenner House’s kitchen planters over the coming months. It’s a brilliant way to bring all the residents together, get outside and produce home-grown fruit and veg.”
