Keeping the environment at the forefront of our minds is one thing but also making sure we give back to the community is something we really care about. Given the current cost of living crisis we felt this is the perfect time for us to show our support. We asked our staff to help donate various items to Padley Group which have been supporting people at risk of homelessness, poverty and hunger in Derby since 1985.
Our Graduate Landscape Architect Ashley Taylor (pictured right) went to hand over our donation to Padley at their Day Centre on Liversage Street, Derby. Our donation will help towards their demand to produce 40-50 food parcels a day as well as basic needs such as clothing, toiletries and access to showers. They also offer support, advice and guidance and hold regular sessions to help with self-esteem, confidence and enhance wellbeing.

This session provided invaluable insights into key ecological methodologies, species-specific survey techniques, and best practices to ensure compliance with legislation and industry standards. This equips our new seasonals for the season ahead.
We had the privilege of hosting Steve Brown from Dragonfly Habitat Bank in our office. Our Consultant Ecologist, Lloyd Wyatt shares his experience from the CPD session.
