We are incredibly grateful to a team of volunteers from NatWest’s Chester branch who generously dedicated a day to The Bluecoat recently.
The enthusiastic and passionate team of 10 helped with various jobs, including painting, path clearance and gardening, which enhances and helps protect both the Grade II listed building and almshouse courtyard tucked behind it.
The work carried out not only saved our charity vital funds and improved the building’s beautiful appearance, it also made the site more accessible to the almshouse residents with the clearing of paths.
The volunteer day brought a real sense of community to The Bluecoat as the NatWest team met and integrated with the charity’s staff and the almshouse residents. They kindly said “We are incredibly proud to work alongside a fantastic organisation such as yours, and you should all be proud of the work you do as well.”
We are extremely thankful to the NatWest team for donating their time to us for the third year in a row.
Corporate volunteering at The Chester Bluecoat Charity is an excellent way for companies to support our work and the local communities. It is a great opportunity for staff to feel rewarded and connect as a team.
