Over 200 members of staff from ventilation manufacturer, EnviroVent, have taken part in a community day, volunteering on projects in Harrogate, Knaresborough and Nidderdale.
The whole company worked together in teams of ten to 15 people to carry out various projects across the local area. One of the projects, Say it with Sunflowers involved planting sunflowers at Saint Michael’s Hospice as part of the Sunflower Memory garden.
Say it with Sunflowers invites the community to dedicate a sunflower plaque in memory of a loved one and make a donation to Saint Michael’s Hospice to help the charity care for more people. The involvement of EnviroVent staff enabled the hospice to create a sea of sunflowers ready to welcome the community to an open garden event.
EnviroVent was named Best Charitable Company at the Stray FM Local Hero Awards in 2013 and has helped to raise £35,000 for Saint Michael’s Hospice in Harrogate over the past few years.
