29.09.11 | All in a days work!

All Natures Way Foods employees are given the chance to take one paid days leave a year to participate in a voluntary activity in their local community.  On this occasion a team of five ladies spent the day putting their decorating skills to the test; cleaning down and re-painting a room for the Crossroads Charity, Bognor Regis.  The main office, kitchenette and restroom needed a new lick of paint and in some places wallpaper, which fell down to two highly skilled individuals, who proved their papering skills to be invaluable.  It was a full day’s work, with a couple of breaks to give their arms a rest; but the end was result was worth it and just in time for the start of the charity's new marketing manager.

“The decision of Natures Way to provide time for their employees to have paid  time to volunteer to help local charities is invaluable to charities like Crossroads.  Working with Nicky Upton we were able to put a decorating project together that, from initial contact to completion, was done very quickly.  We thought the project would take at least 3 days but the team proved to be so efficient that they completed it successfully in one day. The standard of work has been of a very high calibre. Without the teams efforts we would not be in a position to use the room effectively for at least a further year.”  Eric Geddes, Chief Executive Crossroads Charity
