Volunteering - Carpentry Works to New House Youth Centre

Local to the Cooks Lane project in Chalkwell Road Sittingbourne, is The New House Youth Centre. Working with the local council, this youth centre provides a range of fun activities for young people from arts and crafts, sporting activities and pool tables, as well as educational presentations to discuss road and cycle safety and gun and knife crime. This is a very popular youth centre providing a safe haven for young people between the ages of 6 – 18 who need somewhere to meet their friends away from the streets.

ENGIE has already carried out a range of different activities with the youth centre, and to help further, we offered to install new shelving units and cupboards to the activity room which can be used to display different art projects created by the young people that attend the youth centre.

With help from our carpentry subcontractor at Cooks Lane, Martin Robinson Carpentry Ltd, we were able to arrange for the carpenters to donate their time and materials to create and install the cupboards and shelves that went around the perimeter of the room.

Also a big thank you to our kitchen supplier and fitters at Cooks Lane, Magnet Kitchens, for donating the cupboard units and work tops used by the carpenters.
