BDC Aluminium has called on other window companies step forward and do their part after it joined with three other business to renovate part of the Little Havens children’s hospice in Rayleigh, Essex.
Companies including Smarts, The Window Company and Window Projects, contributed to the project to replace timber units in the bereavement suite of the hospice.
BDC group marketing manager Russell Hensman explained: “There is still much to be done however and we’d like to see all of the windows and doors at the Little Havens replaced and in a way that enables the hospice to continue providing high quality care and support.
“That’s why we’re hoping other companies from the fenestration industry will get behind us and donate further products and expertise to such a truly important and worthwhile cause.”
Su Harrison, a key patron, said: “Little Havens can only exist because of the generosity of individuals, organisations and the wider community. Every week, it must raise over £124,000 to be there for everyone who needs it.
“The hospice is based in a large and expansive building with dozens of wooden framed windows and doors, the majority of which could benefit from replacement due to their age.
“The cost of this renovation is expensive and the donation of the new windows and doors for the Woodlands Suite, along with the time and labour to install them, has conserved vital funds that will help the hospice to continue its invaluable work.
“This is hugely appreciated not only by the team at Little Havens but also by the many young people and their families who are able to benefit from its care and support, now and in the future.”
Russell Hensman added: “BDC Aluminium has supported Little Havens in a number of ways over the years thanks to our previous managing director, David Green who became aware of the hospice and its important role.
“Our involvement in this latest project continues that relationship. It’s been great to see businesses at every stage of the supply chain pull together to provide the new fenestration products for the bereavement suite which is a place no parent ever wants to find themselves.”
