CCG Signs Up to Wheatley Group Community Benefit Initiative

The programme, called Spring into Action, sees volunteers from companies ranging from construction firms to architects, and from cleaning suppliers to global multinationals, volunteer their time to help keep neighbourhoods clean and green.

The volunteers will be joining Wheatley’s Neighbourhood Environmental Teams for one of their regular ‘weeks of action’.

Volunteers will help with litter picking, sprucing up communal gardens, cleaning up back courts and more in communities across central and southern Scotland.

Laurie Carberry, Wheatley’s director of procurement, said: “This is the second year of our Spring into Action programme. The first year was a great success, but we’ve even more companies volunteer their services for the second year.

“We’re asking all of the companies who work with us to give something back and play their part in making a difference to communities and to our customers’ lives.

“We had amazing feedback from last year’s programme from the volunteers who loved getting out and about and getting their hands dirty.”

Lynn Stodart, group HR manager at CCG (Scotland), which recently completed 75 mid-market rents for Lowther, part of Wheatley, in Pollokshaws, said: “At CCG, community benefit isn’t an add-on to what we do – it’s central to our purpose as a business. We’re proud to support Wheatley’s Spring into Action programme and to stand alongside partners who are committed to making a tangible difference in neighbourhoods across Scotland.

“By volunteering our time and working with Wheatley’s Neighbourhood Environmental Teams, we’re helping to create cleaner, greener places that people are proud to call home. Initiatives like this show the real impact that can be achieved when organisations collaborate and give something back to the communities we serve.”
