AND FINALLY
Jewson ‘Takes on the Thames’ for charity
Jewson completed the ’Taking on the Thames’ challenge on October 14, raising money for its two charity partners, Band of Builders and Barnardo’s.
44 Jewson team members undertook the 26.2-mile walk, which started at the Jewson Staines branch on Gresham Road at 7am, and ended at London’s O2 Arena later that day. The route snaked along the Thames, calling at Jewson Acton (Horn Lane) and Jewson Lambeth along the way for well-needed rests and supplies.
Band of Builders has been a
Jewson charity partner since 2016, with the money raised to date being used to help people working in the construction industry who are dealing with challenging emotional or financial circumstances.
Jewson has been partnered with Barnardo’s since 2017 and helped to co-develop the ‘Futurebuild’ YouthBuild Training Academy, which donates money, equipment, construction materials and expertise to help the academy teach trade skills to young people leaving care.
Kris Winters, London regional director at Jewson, said: “We’re so proud of everyone who took on this challenge as part of our fundraising efforts for both charities. It was a real challenge that was absolutely worthwhile given the money and awareness we raised for both Band of Builders and Barnardo’s.”
