WMS and Abri join forces to support St Peters Community Centre in Yeovil!

As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting the communities in which we work we recently joined forces with Sophie from Abri making a contribution to support Marie and her brilliant team at St Peters Community Centre in Yeovil!

Marie manages amongst other things the weekly "community pantry" where Abri customers and community members can get a weekly shop, with the team making available an amazing 127,000 meals last year for those most in need.

Abri and St Peters have worked closely together for many years and also provide regular signposting provision, cooking classes, training sessions, a library and a variety of community-based initiatives and activities making St Peters the fantastic Community Centre it is today!

Well done one and all!

Having recently completed refurbishment works at Coombefield Veterinary Practice WMS and our client continued to deliver on our Social Value Partnership initiative, this time for Ferne Animal Sanctuary.

Ferne Animal Sanctuary rescue rehabilitate and rehome or provide a home for life for domestic and farm animals, every year they rehome approx. 250 dogs/cats and have 300 resident animals at the sanctuary.

This year has been an extremely busy one for the sanctuary who launched an urgent appeal to help them through an unprecedented financial downturn knowing the winter will bring even more challenges.

We are proud to offer a little help to all the team at Ferne Animal Sanctuary as they continue the good work they have been doing since 1939!

What a fantastic morning we have had with Corner House Vets!

 Corner House Vets are real supporters of Devon Air Ambulance and who can blame them? What a fantastic choice!
We were proud to be able to contribute to the Air Ambulance, Corner Vets "local heroes" when we approached them with our proposal to join forces to support local causes.

We all hope not to need the services the Air Ambulance offer but what a job these people do day after day.

Thanks go to Vicky at Corner Vets and Lysianne of Devon Air Ambulance for their help and support in making this happen.

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We are proud to be associated with Transformation CPR a brilliant voluntary organisation based in Camborne who believe when we work together we can create lasting change, supporting one another and building a stronger, more compassionate community...

Unbelievable results and exceptional hard work and commitment from all involved!

Well done Deb, Joyce, Barbara and all the team, we hope you have a fantastic Christmas and a brilliant New Year, my goodness you deserve it!

I understand your team are finishing up this week and I just wanted to send some feedback through about how much of a pleasure it has been having them work outside for the past 7 months. Everyone has been so friendly, polite, clean, quiet, and courteous what an excellent team of workers you have. A special mention to Reef. What a lovely gentleman he is, he clearly has a very keen eye for attention to detail! What an absolute asset he is to your company.

I can honestly say I think we will miss seeing the WMS vans turn up in the morning! Never did I think I would say that about having contractors working outside our house, but it has been a pleasure and the buildings new make over looks outstanding.

Wishing you and all your team a very Merry Christmas.
