COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

from University of York Student Accommodation Community Benefits

3 CONSTRUCTION CURRICULUM SUPPORT ACTIVITIES

We organised several community engagement events during our time on the University of York project.

GRAHAM and Supply Chain partners donated to York Foodbank

The team at York wanted to do their bit for the community so the team arranged a food donation area where staff could donate food, toileries and household supplies to help those in need. Once the donations were collected they boxed it up and delivered it to the York Foodbank who were thankful of this kind gesture.

250th Birthday Heritage Project at St Oswald’s Primary School, York

I am writing because your business recently contributed to the 250th birthday heritage project at St Oswald’s Primary, York.

I am delighted to say that the new seating area is almost complete and is looking wonderful. None of this could have happened without your generous contriutions and we are really grateful for your support.

Thank you again for your valued support to our community

GRAHAM & their supply chain partners worked closely with St Oswald’s Primary to help build a Hertigate Bench and a Time Capsule that would incorporate the original foundation stones of the school from 1771 and 1846.

The bench also included tiles that were designed and created by the children in collaboration with a local artist. As part of the unveiling ceremony, a time capsule filled with artefacts created by children to represent current times will be sealed into the bench.

GRAHAM were delighted to help be a part of the school’s history and enjoyed our time working together with the school and the children.

Dog Society Visit at York University

GRAHAM teamed up with Dog Society to bring dogs to the campus for students to meet. This helped reduce stress and had a positive impact for students who missed their dog. This is now a regularly weekly event at the campus and is a hit with the students.
