Willmott Dixon Volunteers Help Refurbish Children's Hospital
Wilmott Dixon volunteers have helped to refurbish a children's hospital in Birmingham.
Teams from the company's Birmingham branches carried out repairs and maintenance at Acorns Children's Hospice, in Selly Oak, as part of the charity's Clean and Clear Week. The volunteers built new shelving, refurbished the kitchen in the family flat, carried out flooring work, added a new fridge/freezer, reconstructed an old sluice and provided a lick of paint to everything.
Acorns Children’s Hospice in Selly Oak, Birmingham provides 24 hour specialist care for life threatened children and young people who are not expected to reach adulthood, and their families.
Willmott Dixon's Customer and Community Partner Melanie Checkley said: "This is the fifth year that we've supported Acorns during their Clean and Clear Week and it's fantastic to see how the hospice keeps developing. Last year we installed a new kitchen and we’re really pleased to be able to return again this year and further improve the facilities. Acorns is such a prominent local charity, which does wonderful work in the community. We're very proud to be able to offer the team here our long term support."
