Site Equip Volunteers At Treloar’s Trust

Site Equip’s Charity of this year is Treloar’s Trust, as part of our partnership we held a volunteering day for a selection of our employees.

Treloar’s Trust is the UK’s leading center for severely disabled children and young people, aged 2 to 25. Their mission focuses on preparing each individual for adult life. They aim to build confidence so that these young people can reach for the stars and achieve their full potential.

Founded in 1907, Treloar’s Trust serves 170 children and young adults in a specialist environment. Here, they receive education, therapy, and healthcare tailored to their needs. Treloar’s employs not only teachers but also various specialist staff, including physiotherapists and visual impairment advisers. Each team member plays a vital role in supporting every student’s care and development.

Volunteer Day at Treloar’s Trust

A group of our staff volunteered at Treloar’s, focusing on gardening in their plaza and sensory area. The team spent the day weeding around the reception and tidying the patio area. Their efforts helped to neaten the pavements and create a more accessible space for the students.

Leonie Jackson, Treloar Trust’s Corporate Fundraiser, expressed her gratitude: “We are extremely grateful to your volunteers for dedicating a day to help maintain our site. The weather wasn’t kind, but this didn’t deter you! As soon as the rain eased, you enthusiastically got to work weeding and tidying the piazza. The work in the Sensory Garden is especially valuable. It not only beautifies the area but also enhances safety and accessibility for our students, most of whom are wheelchair users. It was a pleasure to have you here. Please pass on our heartfelt thanks to the team.”

Adam Gilbert, our Director, commented, “The volunteering day at Treloar’s was a rewarding experience. Our enthusiastic team of eight spent the day pulling weeds and tidying the gardens at the school for disabled children. Their efforts made a significant difference, and I’m sure the children will be delighted when they return from their half-term break.”
