Clean team are dream team at youth homeless centre A team from a local company recently donated a whole day of work to deep clean Ashley Court, the youth homelessness centre at Chawleigh. Devon Surface Care employees toiled for more than seven hours scrubbing exterior walls, scraping moss off the roofs and cleaning gutters at the centre - all free of charge. Rebecca Fry from the Amber Foundation which runs the facility, says they’re thrilled, “We’d like to say a massive thank you to them. The jobs were completed to a very high standard the walls next to our car park look like they have been repainted. The guys were an absolute pleasure to have here. They even had time for a lunchtime game of footie with some of the young people which was enjoyed by all!” Devon Surface Care (pictured right) is a family run business set up by 2014 by Jonny Hardy, and work throughout the county providing exterior surface restoration to both domestic and commercial clients. Amber houses and supports up to 30 young people at a time at Ashley Court. The young people who come to Amber are from across the area and are facing a range of complex issues including homelessness, long term unemployment and mental ill health. Problems that have only been made worse over the last year of the pandemic.
