On Monday 29 September 2025, two employees from Holcim UK generously gave their time to help improve the grounds at St Joseph’s Homestead, Albany Road, Stratford-upon-Avon.
The almshouses, part of the Municipal Charities of Stratford-upon-Avon, provide homes for eight residents.
The volunteers, Simon Collins and Paul Wagstaff, both IT engineers at Holcim UK, spent the day painting the garden fencing to refresh and enhance the communal outdoor space.
William Clemmey, Chief Officer of the Municipal Charities, said:
“The fences at St Joseph’s Homestead were becoming untidy, so we are delighted that Simon and Paul volunteered to repaint them. Their work has helped brighten the gardens for our residents, and we are always grateful for the support we receive from local businesses.”
