• Firms Rally For Rayleigh Hospice

BDC Aluminium has rallied Smarts, The Window Company and Window Projects to supply and fit new windows and doors at the Little Havens children’s hospice in Rayleigh.

Little Havens can only exist because of the generosity of individuals, organisations and the wider community. It is the only dedicated children’s hospice in Essex that provides specialist care and support to babies, children and young people from across the county and surrounding areas who are living with complex or incurable conditions.

The aluminium windows and doors supplied by the industry partners have been employed in a bereavement suite. They have been used to replace wooden frames. They offer better aesthetics, reduced maintenance requirements and improved energy efficiency.

 

In need of replacement

Su Harrison, a key patron of Little Havens, says: “The hospice is based in a large and expansive building with dozens of wooden framed windows and doors, the majority of which could benefit from replacement due to their age.

“The cost of this renovation is expensive and the donation of the new windows and doors for the bereavement suite, along with the time and labour to install them, has conserved vital funds that will help the hospice to continue its invaluable work.

“This is hugely appreciated not only by the team at Little Havens but also by the many young people and their families who are able to benefit from its care and support, now and in the future.”

 

Can you donate?

Russell Hensman, group marketing manager at BDC says: “BDC Aluminium has supported Little Havens in a number of ways over the years thanks to our previous managing director, David Green who became aware of the hospice and its important role.

“Our involvement in this latest project continues that relationship. It’s been great to see businesses at every stage of the supply chain pull together to provide the new fenestration products for the bereavement suite which is a place no parent ever wants to find themselves.

“There is still much to be done however and we’d like to see all of the windows and doors at the Little Havens replaced and in a way that enables the hospice to continue providing high quality care and support.

“That’s why we’re hoping other companies from the fenestration industry will get behind us and donate further products and expertise to such a truly important and worthwhile cause.”
