Parker Building Supplies, Chandlers Building Supplies, and Fairalls Builders Merchants have announced a community challenge giving local organisations a chance to win £2,000 worth of landscaping materials.
The Community Landscaping Challenge aims to champion organisations that are working hard to improve outdoor spaces for the people they support — whether that’s creating a sensory garden, revamping a tired courtyard, building raised beds, or completing a long awaited community project.
Eligible groups are invited to submit entries explaining what they would use the materials for and the positive impact the project would have. The organisers are hoping for submissions from local schools, nursing homes, hospitals, hospices, charities, community groups and other institutions.
Once the entry window closes, a shortlist of finalists will be selected and showcased on the merchant’s social media channels, where the public will be invited to vote for the winner.
Grant Lockett, Sales Director at IBMG, owner of the three merchants, noted: “We know how much difference a well designed outdoor space can make — from supporting wellbeing to creating places where people can connect.
"This challenge is our way of giving back to the communities we serve and shining a light on the brilliant work happening locally. We can’t wait to see the ideas that come forward.”
The winning organisation will receive up to £2,000 of landscaping products to help bring their project to life.
