CADBURY WORKERS RESTORE AN AREA OF NATURAL BEAUTY

A team of employees from Cadbury’s Bournville site put in some hard graft at Clent Hills park in Worcestershire, helping to make it a safer and easier place to visit.

Ten colleagues from Cadbury spent a day at The National Trust site carrying out some much-needed repairs to ensure the Clent Hills woodland and its network of paths remains open to all. Crucially a new kissing gate was built which will provide wheel chair access for all those who could not previously enjoy the area. The team also constructed a new fence, removed over-hanging trees and flattened out a pathway, making the area safe for the whole community to enjoy.

Paul Turbill, Bournville Manufacturing Team Leader Moulded Department, led the volunteers:

“I really enjoy my job and I’m always keen give something back to the local community. I was keen to return to Clent Hills after a really enjoyable volunteering experience last year, and I’m so glad that I managed to gather other members of the Moulded team at Bournville to muck in as well.

“We had a lot of fun on the day and it’s great to see what difference our changes will make to the local community. Clent Hills is a beautiful space and I’m so happy that more of the local residents will get to enjoy it.”

The Moulded team’s volunteering day comes as part of the Cadbury Community programme, of which Environment is one of the key focuses. For more information, visit http://www.cadbury.com/.
