Social value | Contractors spread festive cheer

Thank you to our contractors who have helped to spread festive cheer to our independent living schemes.

Guild Scaffolding Ltd has organised for a choir group called Lost and Found to perform Christmas carols at Tuson House in Penwortham on Tuesday 9 December, from 7pm – 9pm.

There will be little elves distributing small gifts, as well as mulled wine, mice pies, hot chocolate and biscuits. 

Gemma Whiteside, Officer Manager at Guild Scaffolding Ltd, said: “With it being Christmas, Guild Scaffolding saw a good opportunity to give back to the local community with a festive event to spread the Christmas spirit.”

Meanwhile, tenants at Lostock Court in Lostock Hall have organised a Christmas party with the support of Independent Living Coordinator Mel.

Our contractor Broad Oak Group has funded the buffet and singer.

Mel said: “We are delighted that our contractors have demonstrated such a strong commitment to social value. When they step in to support events and activities, it truly makes a difference—helping everyone feel valued and part of something special.”

Chris Bardell, Commercial Services Director at Broad Oak Group, said: “We are proud to support Progress Housing Group and the independent living communities. Contributing to events like these is our way of giving something back and helping create moments that bring people together. It’s important to us that our work extends beyond the projects we deliver and supports the wellbeing of the tenants who are at the heart of these schemes.”
