NOVUS DELIVERS EASTER EGGS TO CHARITIES ACROSS GREAT BRITAIN

Easter is a time of year that can be even more challenging for people and families struggling to afford food, especially with the current cost-of-living crisis. That’s why our colleagues (or Novus Easter Bunnies) across Great Britain wanted to play their part in donating Easter Eggs to local Food Banks to support or Easter Appeal.

Poverty in the UK

According to the Social Metrics Commission report, 14.3 million people are in poverty in the UK, of which 8.3 million are working-age adults, 4.6 million are children, and 1.3 million are of pension age.

It is clear that from these figures, many people struggle to afford food and it’s estimated that over 500,000 people in the UK are now reliant on food parcels, with 2 million people in the UK deemed to be “undernourished”.

How Novus Has Been Helping this Easter

Below are just some of the highlights of how Novus teams throughout Great Britain have supported our Food Bank (Easter) Appeal:


East Midlands

Our East Midlands subcontractors Emmott and Pearce Electrical generously donated 40 Easter eggs to help less fortunate children this Easter.

Our team have also delivered Easter Eggs to Bromford Housing residents in Rugeley and donated prizes for their raffle.

Whilst working on a roofing contract for our client EMH Group in Ilkeston, we also gave out Easter Eggs to the local residents to thank them for their patience throughout the works.

North Wales Easter Appeal

North Wales

Our North Wales team is continually building their pile of chocolate eggs to help put a smile on children’s faces who would have otherwise gone without.

Overall 247 Easter Eggs and 65 Cadburys Crème Eggs have been donated to eight locations in North Wales including: the Children’s ward at Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor, The Trussel Trust Foodbanks in Wrexham, Bangor and Anglesey, Caia Park Adventure Playground in Wrexham, Women’s Aid in Wrexham, St Giles Church in Wrexham, Rhos Community Café and Foodbank in Wrexham.

The local children were delighted to receive the eggs but even more so to see the Easter Bunny! A big thank you to our Site Supervisor Nick Rogers for playing the Easter bunny and our subcontractors in North Wales who donated chocolate eggs.  These include:


Midlands

Our Midlands team has also been supporting our Easter Appeal by delivering chocolate eggs and activity packs to families whilst completing handover and customer aftercare visits in Burntwood.

In addition to this, the team along with our client Cannock Chase Council have collected and donated Easter treats to The Cannock Chase Children’s Centre. The donations will go to vulnerable families in the area.

Our Birmingham subcontractor Doorfit has also shown their support by donating a variety of Easter Eggs to our Appeal. Thank you for helping put a smile on children’s faces!
