Wrapping Up For 2018 Celebrating the local community with our Contractor Community Framework programme

As 2018 draws to a close we reflect back on the year & celebrate some key community programmes alongside school engagement projects delivered by construction contractors Alandale, McLaren, McAleer & Rushe, Sisk, Wates, O’Keefe, Huber and Volkerfitzpatrick. School engagement One of the most significant projects this year has been a playground refurbishment at Ark Academy. A huge amount of work was delivered by the team at O’Keefe, with funding raised by developer Quintain, Wembley Park contractors, Hilton London Wembley and through the school itself. The children were delighted and wrote notes to the team to thank them for their hard work and hours of volunteering. Quintain has partnered with Prospects and Enabling Enterprise to deliver a series of employability workshops throughout 2018-2019 with students from local schools, helping them to refine their skills for success at work. Members of Quintain including Angus Dodd, CEO, have volunteered throughout many of the sessions. Quintain has also worked with local schools to decorate hoardings in Wembley Park. With support from professional local

artists, the activity raised awareness of the importance of Health and Safety in construction as part of the Health and Safety week. Wembley Park Community Fund and local fundraising activities 20 projects were funded throughout 20172018 via the Wembley Park Community fund, a grant of up to £10,000 awarded to various organisations in Brent. Grants were awarded to Musicus CIC, Work Rights Centre & Global Skills Centre alongside new arts, creative and skills projects. £182,539 has been awarded so far. Wembley Park contractors supported fundraising events for local organisations and national campaigns, providing volunteers for local charities and organisations. Quintain hosted its annual football tournament in Wembley Park, with funds going towards a local organisation.

Engineering Apprentice "Before I was an apprentice, I was at school but now I get to make money while I’m learning. I would recommend a career in construction because there are so many opportunities available across London, and you get to work with people really experienced in the industry." Apprentice Plumber "They’ll throw you in it, you’ll learn as you go but that’s the nature of the job. They will teach you everything you need to know. If you work hard, you’ll get through it. You’ve got so much support, they want you to pass." Visit wembleypark.com/wembleyparkskills for more information on how to get involved in our charitable giving, skill workshops, school engagement programmes, apprenticeships and employment opportunities.
