A brave group from Tanium battle the heat and dirt in order to provide a space on our track for new play equipment to be placed. Old and broken play equipment had been removed from the track previously, which had left a large area in need of filling, for safety and preparation reasons. The eleven fantastic volunteers then got their hands dirty filling in the hole with top soil, as well as recycling soil from other projects around site. 

The other projects included dismantling planters in the gardens of our Seasons buildings to make room for future play equipment to be installed for the young people we support. Many of the young people need movement, particularly repetitive movement like swinging, in order to regulate their own emotions or provide sensory stimulation. The jobs the volunteers did will allow swings and other play equipment to be placed and provide benefits for the young people for many years to come. 

Tanium were also given a bespoke tour of our new Piper Arts Centre as over the past couple of years they have as been a big part of bringing this project to life, having raised funds through raffles and christmas giving tree campaigns, and helping us get the word out about the new centre. Its official opening was celebrated on Thursday, 12th June, so Tanium were among the first corporate supporters to have a look inside. 

This was an incredibly demanding task which this amazing group did with no complaints, despite the heat, and as always we are incredibly grateful for groups like these. Between them they completed around 40 hours of work, which is the equivalent of an entire week for one of our groundsmen. Thank you Tanium!
