Heb Group Spreads Festive Cheer at Hillsborough Arena
Heb Group recently joined Hillsborough Arena for their magical Christmas event, celebrating the festive season alongside the local community. The event featured a heartwarming Santa’s Grotto, festive characters, and a showcase of handcrafted items created by young adults participating in the Arena’s carpentry life skills workshop.
Hillsborough Arena, a cherished local charity, provides vital classes and activities for special needs children, young adults, and the wider community. Since 2020, Heb Group has proudly supported the Arena through sponsorships that have funded several impactful projects.
Making a Difference Together
One of the key initiatives funded by Heb Group is the carpentry life skills workshop, where special needs children and young adults learn practical skills to craft items like bird tables, flower stands, and benches. These creations are then sold to fund materials for future projects, fostering creativity and independence.
Another highlight of Heb Group’s sponsorship is the creation of a stunning walled beer garden. Designed and built almost entirely by the young adults at Hillsborough Arena, the garden is a testament to their hard work and the power of community support.
In addition to these projects, Heb Group’s sponsorship has contributed to a variety of mechanical and electrical improvements throughout the Arena, ensuring a safe and welcoming environment for all visitors.
A Festive Celebration
The Christmas event brought the community together, creating joyful memories for families and children. From meeting Santa to enjoying the festive atmosphere, it was a wonderful way to celebrate the holiday season and showcase the ongoing partnership between Heb Group and Hillsborough Arena.
Neville Clark, Contracts Manager in Heb Group's Facilities Management division, commented: “Our relationship with Hillsborough Arena is something we are incredibly proud of. Seeing the young adults’ hard work and the joy it brings to the community is truly inspiring. Supporting their projects and events like this Christmas celebration demonstrates how small actions can create a lasting positive impact.”
Heb Group looks forward to continuing its partnership with Hillsborough Arena and supporting more initiatives that make a difference in the community.
