Firm gives hospice shop free makeover
The St Andrew’s Hospice shop in Larkhall got a free makeover courtesy of Graham Construction.
A number of different sections of the unit were refurbished pro-bono, including painting, rebuilding shelves and creating new displays at the front windows.
The project was carried out over a week by a number of Graham Construction employees. John Mchugh, construction director at the firm, said:“the manager of St Andrew’s Hospice shop approached us to ask for help to carry out some work in the shop, which we were more than happy to take on.
“Our team contributed many hours over the space of a week to complete the overall renewal, and it has really made a different to the space inside.
“We are also involved in a number of health projects across Lanarkshire, showcasing our skills in this sector.
“We’d also like to thank our sub-contractor, Phil Davies Contracts (PDC) for supplying the paint used to decorate the shop.”
St Andrew’s Hospice provide specialist palliative care to people living with life-limiting illnesses. It places a focus on supporting patients and their families. Its shops raise money to drive forward these efforts. Shop manager Pauline Kerr said: “Feedback from visitors to the shop has been fantastic, offering their praise to Graham Construction for lending its assistance.
“The improvements have created a more welcoming interior which should drive sales and help to raise money for the vital work carried out by St Andrew’s Hospice.”
