New community and sensory garden being created in Basildon

Equans covers funds to provide timber and other construction materials needed to create a new large community and sensory garden in Basildon, Essex.

In December 2022, Equans' Social Value Manager, Julian Sanz, visited the Vange Community Centre in Basildon, where Equans are part funding a large youth initiative with Trustlinks.

A disused area of green space to the rear of the community centre, is being transformed into a new large community and sensory garden that will include 9 raised beds, 2 large ponds, a sensory garden and 2 rustic style cabins that will be used to engage local youth and tackle anti-social behaviour issues in the area.

As part of our social value activities on behalf of Clarion, Equans funded the timber and construction of all the raised beds and ponds, as well as the kitchen which has been generously donated by our supply chain partners, Moores Furniture Group.
