Staff from leading IT specialists Fujitsu transformed the garden of a Thames Reach supported housing project in Brixton last month.
Eight people on a graduate training programme with the computer company raised over £1,000 to pay for materials from companies in the local area. They drew up detailed landscaping plans, and took a day out from the office to complete a makeover of the back yard.
Despite heavy rain showers, the staffs’ efforts – part of a team challenge organised with the help of Business in the Community – resulted in a new garden with lighting, benches, plants and decking.
Jasprit Jandoo, a project worker at the scheme, said: “In a short space of time they completely
revamped the space. I was incredibly impressed not only by their enthusiasm but by their professionalism.”
If your company would be interested in carrying out a similar team challenge at one of our projects, please contact Martyn Robson, business development manager, on 020 7702 5669 or via email.
