MEP pave the way for a-mazing result

Last month a group of volunteers from MEP Ltd participated in the UK Give & Gain Day - the UK's only national day of employee volunteering - helping their local community in Aylesford, Kent, by creating a blocked paved area at the Demelza Children's Hospice and renovating Ditton Infant School's maze.

Every year since 2008, this has given companies a unique opportunity to bring community action to life.

MEP volunteers went to Ditton Infant School a small local school with Foundation status for children aged 4-7. The school located in Ditton, the area MEP Ltd operates, has an important part to play in the community, the company benefits from the goodwill and support of the parents, village residents and local businesses.

On the 20th May 2014 MEP Ltd continued their community support by creating a blocked paved area at the Demelza Children’s Hospice. Children's hospices support children and young people (0-19) who are not expected to reach adulthood, and offer support to their families. The senior management team of MEP were proud to agree to support this worthy cause and spent the day creating a blocked paving area for the children and their families to spend periods of comfort and peace.
