Sellafield Ltd Employee Challenge benefits Local Community
Employees from Sellafield Ltd’s Engineering Design and Delivery Capability (EDDC) team, joined members of staff from Warrington Borough Council’s Environment and regeneration team and the Warrington Probation Service to give the 1st/14th Warrington Scout Hut in Orford a facelift on Friday 16 April.
The centre on Windermere Avenue is an important part of the local community and is used by Scouts, Cubs, Beavers, Explorers as well as sports clubs and relies heavily on the goodwill and support of users.
The resident scouts aim to raise £3k each year, but most of this goes back into the maintenance of the hut, rather than updating equipment for the scouts.
Pauline Deans, Sustainability Relations Officer at Sellafield Ltd, explained: "The employee challenge
forms part of a team building exercise for the Engineering Design and Delivery Capability at Sellafield Ltd. The challenge helps employees to develop leadership, team working and observation skills and puts into practice the principles of Social Responsibility."
Craig Monks, Group Scout Leader said: "The Scouts really appreciate the support of Sellafield Ltd, the Council and the Probation service, which is helping to give a much needed facelift to the Scout hut. It is really important for us to create a welcoming environment for our young people, the community, visitors and volunteers, and the efforts of these organisations are making a huge contribution to this."
Paul Adams, Head of EDDC at Sellafield Ltd added: "The community challenge has been set up as an opportunity for the teams to get to know each other in a fun, non-work environment, whilst having the satisfaction of putting something back into the local community that will be enjoyed by all the people who use 1st/14th Warrington Scout Hut."
