Novus and Crown Paints donate a new bench to a sheltered scheme garden

Having recently completed the patio area as part of another social value project, the newly gifted park bench was the perfect finishing touch.

Made from recycled materials

The bench donated to the project was made from entirely recycled materials, having been manufactured by Novus supply partner Crown Paints.

To make the bench, Crown Paints recycled empty paint tins that had been returned to them, which was then given to Novus.


Refurbishment contract with Clarion Housing

In turn, Novus donated the bench to our clients Clarion Housing to be used at one of their sheltered scheme where Novus were undertaking a full refurbishment contract.

Throughout the works, the residents at the sheltered scheme have reportedly been very pleased with the work that our teams have completed.

This was reflected in the generous thank you card that our Southampton office recently received from the residents once the work was completed.

Laura Shotter – Contract Liaison Officer for Novus Southampton said:

“The residents were so complimentary about Novus and everyone that have been involved with the work. I look forward to going through each individual response and sharing them with the team.”

“We would like to extend our thanks for their patience, support, and understanding. As a token of our gratitude, Novus wanted to give something back.”


The garden and patio area

The residents are very proud of their garden area and love spending time in the fresh air, either socialising, gardening, or just relaxing.

Novus have recently completed the patio area of the garden as part of another social value project at the sheltered scheme. As such, the bench made a logical accompaniment to the patio area and the perfect gift to say thank you to the residents.


What next?

Novus will be revisiting the sheltered scheme in the coming weeks to plant some trees in their new car park area as part of another social value project.

Our team will be meeting on-site with members of Clarion Housing where both teams will get stuck-in to help plant the saplings.
