Morgan Sindall and its supply chain partners helped the homeless during Mental Health Awareness Week.
The main contractor invited homeless people to various sites where it provided meals, toiletries, sleeping bags and haircuts, thanks to donations from a wide number of supply chain partners.
Site teams came together on the day to assist at different locations, partnering with local businesses to support those close to site projects that needed help.
Morgan Sindall reported high levels of engagement from those in need, saying it highlights the need to “do more to support when building communities in local areas as well
as volunteer time when we all can”.
Morgan Sindall Construction site manager Gurdeep Singh Jandoo MCIOB volunteered at an event at the Bobby Moore sports centre in Newham, east London.
He said: “It was a very heartwarming and wholesome afternoon, which was well received by the many people we were fortunate enough to serve. Their gratitude for the hot meal and care package was a reminder of why it is so important to share with others and help the less fortunate.
He added that it was “a genuine reminder of how privileged and lucky we are to have a home to go to at the end of the day, food to fill our stomachs and to have friends and family there for us”.
