Lovell celebrates Volunteers' Week with recent work
One of Lovell's recent initiatives was at the Ringland Regeneration project in Newport, where 19 people from Lovell and its project partner, Hedyn, participated in a community litter-picking session.
This marked the third session since work began on the site last year.
The Ringland regeneration project is a large-scale transformation programme being delivered by Lovell for Hedyn (formerly Newport City Homes), breathing new life into the Ringland area of Newport.
The £47 million project will provide 158 new homes, and the Ringland shopping centre will be relocated.
In another initiative, Lovell employees participated in a record-breaking river clean-up effort in Pontypridd.
The Taff Tidy project aimed to break the previous world record of 329 volunteers for the largest mass river clean-up.
The project saw volunteers at nine different locations along the River Taff simultaneously clearing the river.
Lovell's social value manager, Meriel Gough, marketing and business development co-ordinator Noorhan Griffiths, bid co-ordinator Tom McDonald, and build manager Paul Phillips joined the effort.
The Lovell employees devoted four hours to enhancing the local area, contributing to a total of 1,327 volunteers who decisively broke the previous record.
Gemma Clissett, regional partnerships director at Lovell, said: "At Lovell, giving back to the communities we build in is a crucial part of our core values.
"We are very proud of the volunteering work we do, and all the other community work we carry out with schools, colleges, and other local organisations.
"We look forward to offering our help and support to more of them going forward."
