Social
Community Art Project: Transforming Spaces
In a recent initiative, our team led by Kirsty Obbard transformed a 110m playground wall in Hastings into a vibrant mural. Working with the school council and students, we created an interactive space that encourages creative play. This project, involving 40 paint brushes and enthusiastic volunteers, demonstrates our commitment to bringing positive change to local communities through meaningful engagement.
Women into Work: Empowering Through Opportunity
Our Women into Work initiative is making significant strides in breaking down barriers to employment. Through partnerships with local organizations, we plan on providing mentoring, skills development workshops, and networking opportunities to help women re-enter the workforce or advance their careers.
