Covers Burgess Hill donates materials to charity

Covers Timber & Builders Merchants in Burgess Hill has donated more than £500 worth of materials, including decking and sleepers, to the children’s charity, WellChild.

WellChild provides garden makeovers for children living with complex care needs. Its latest project, Max’s Garden located in Burgess Hill, is on behalf of 11-year-old Max who has four limb cerebral palsy, is non-verbal and has hearing and vision problems. He uses a wheelchair and requires full adult support, 24-hours a day.

The current family garden, which doesn’t allow Max to spend time outside, will be converted to address his needs and provide enough outside space to allow him to build up his strength using mobility aids.

The project is scheduled to start at the end of March and will involve a group of volunteers from ServiceMax, who will be given just two days to complete the work. 

 

Luke Brown, Helping Hands Project Manager for WellChild, said:

“It’s great to have so many people getting involved with this project and for companies, like Covers, providing us with the essential materials and equipment we need to complete the project. We are so grateful to Covers and everyone else who has made sure this project will be possible.”

Terry Lace, Depot Manager of Covers Burgess Hill, added:

“We are delighted to be helping WellChild with this important project. We cannot wait to see Max’s Garden once it has been completed.”

As a thank you, the family presented Covers’ staff with a cake shaped into a bulk bag featuring the company’s logo.
