“30 for 30”

Creating lasting social value is about listening to what communities need and delivering something that will make a difference long after the work is complete.

As part of our ‘30 for 30’ initiative, we are delighted to show the completed transformation of the outdoor space at Transforming Choice, creating a welcoming, accessible environment for residents and visitors to enjoy.

The project included:

  • A new perimeter fence to create privacy for residents.
  • A compact, low-maintenance seating area with decorative stone.
  • Bespoke raised planters to bring colour and structure to the space.
  • More than £500 worth of plants, creating a vibrant garden that will continue to flourish for years to come.

None of this would have been possible without the incredible generosity of our trusted supply chain partners.

A HUGE thank you to Sovini Trade Supplies and Beers Timber & Building Supplies Ltd for their generous donations of materials, and to Amnis, whose kind donation helped us fill the garden with over £500 worth of plants, bringing the space to life.

Together, your support enabled us to complete the transformation in time for the latest Graduation Day, creating an outdoor space that residents, visitors and future cohorts can enjoy for years to come.

Projects like this demonstrate the power of collaboration. When businesses come together with a shared purpose, we can create meaningful spaces that improve wellbeing, encourage connection and leave a lasting legacy within our communities.

A fantastic team effort by everyone involved.
