Persimmon funds equipment for FRAME

Fantastic Funding for FRAME

A huge Thank you to Persimmon who have donated a grant of £1,000 towards the purchase of reupholstery equipment for Pembrokeshire FRAME’s Furniture Surgery Project Recover.

Project Recover funded by WCVA and the Volunteering Fund supports people aged 16 to 25, many of whose lives have been impacted by the Covid 19 pandemic. The project helps volunteers reach their potential and gain confidence by equipping them with new skills, including furniture upcycling and reupholstery.

Funding for upholstery equipment

“We are extremely grateful to Persimmon Homes for this generous donation. We are delivering a fantastic project called Project Recover supporting people who have had limited social and learning opportunities throughout the pandemic.

Our training programme will equip them with skills, confidence and hopefully the key to finding work in the future. As the project progresses and more young people join, we desperately need more upholstery equipment. This money will help us with that.”

Paul Hughes, Chief Officer at Pembrokeshire FRAME.

Persimmon Homes helping communities

This fantastic donation comes as part of the Persimmon housebuilder’s Community Champions scheme.

“We are delighted to support Pembrokeshire FRAME. This is a great project helping people who need a bit of support to fulfil their potential. There are a lot of people who have been left behind by the pandemic and schemes like this will be really beneficial in helping them regain confidence.”

Sharon Bouhali, Sales Director at Persimmon Homes West Wales.
