Firm helps St Blane’s garden grow
St Blane’s Primary School in Blantyre are quids in thanks to a £500 donation from Cruden Building.
The Glasgow firm donated the cash as part of their commitment to investing in the local community as they are currently building 20 new family homes on the site of the former St Blane’s School.
The donation was welcomed by the school this week and Pauline Brown, head teacher, said:“we are thankful to Cruden for this donation which will go towards our school garden. We are also looking forward to the minor repair work that Cruden plan to carry out in our garden area”.
Allan Callaghan, managing director of Cruden Building said:“we are pleased to be able to make a difference to the local communities in which we build. This donation is particularly fitting as it reinforces our ongoing commitment to support Scotland’s young workforce”.
Throughout the St Blane’s project , which is due to be completed by February 2019, Cruden is providing employment opportunities to local people and five local apprentices are working at this development, as they train to become bricklayers, joiners and plumbers.
They are also creating a number of work placements, as well as modern apprenticeship and training opportunities for young people, reinforcing their commitment to nurture Scotland’s young talent within the construction industry.
In addition to St Blane’s, Cruden are developing five sites throughout South Lanarkshire, building 118 new homes in the Hamilton, East Kilbride and Clydesdale areas.
