A big thank you to our contractors Purdy and their member of staff Fay Poddington for stepping up and supporting one of our sheltered residents who needed some help with decorations in her home. Fay made contact with her family who did not live nearby and arranged for her team to go in a paint her living room and hallway for her.

Sheltered Housing and Support Manager Bridget Mullins said “Thank you so much to Purdy for helping one of our residents. This type of input, so generously provided by contractors is of particular benefit to the vulnerable people who could not afford to pay for it or could not do it themselves. The Resident and her family are very grateful for the support”
