Hattersley Central – Social Value

Summary of the Delivered Social Value

Rowlinson hired locally and trained apprentices

Rowlinson engaged with the local workforce by employing a team of skilled individuals, including five bricklayers, and a gateman, groundworker, fork lift driver, and labourer. Rowlinson also provided opportunities for skill development through the hiring and training of three apprentices.

Provided work experience at a local school

Rowlinson partnered with Wright Robinson, a local high school in Urmston, where a student was welcomed for an week of work experience in June 2023.

Donated to a local nursery

Rowlinson organised a significant donation to a local nursery in March 2023. The nursey was able to use the money to regenerate the library’s collection of books. There was a special presentation day help on March 10th to celebrate the donation.

Helped to maintain the local environment

Rowlinson contributed to the well-being of the community by providing skips to the local allotment ground, facilitating the removal of debris and fly-tipping. They also provided a lock and chain to ensure the safety and security of this space

Facilitated a food collection

In December 2022, Rowlinson orchestrated a food collection in collaboration with the local Foodbank. Onward, in conjunction with Rowlinson, generously offered transport and labour support.
