Members of our team, Philippa and Josh, presented Sheffield and Rotherham Wildlife Trust with a charitable donation of £250 and spent the day volunteering in Greno Woods.

They joined other volunteers to help improve the local area by trimming and removing some of the overgrown areas in the woodlands, which will promote the habitats for local wildlife and ensure a safe route for walkers, cyclists, and emergency services.

“Looking after the local area and its wildlife is incredibly important to me. Creating a safer and greener planet starts with improving your local area. We all need to look after our green spaces, protect them and help them thrive. I am lucky enough to have Greno woods on my doorstep and something I am incredibly fortunate to have.” – Philippa
