Jewson Partnership Solutions, Onward Homes, Wilsonart UK and ID Surfaces have clubbed together to donate fixtures, fittings and labour for a new kitchen at the Recycling Lives Charity premises.
It forms part of a large communal area within the facility in central Preston, alongside a training and games area and 10 en-suite bedrooms.

Alasdair Jackson, chief executive of Recycling Lives Charity, said: “While we’re all doing our bit by staying home this donation makes home an even nicer place to be for our residents.
“It provides a hub for our men to cook, socialise and support one another as they work towards independence. We’re very grateful for this very practical and generous donation.”
Most fixtures and fittings were provided by Jewson Partnership Solutions, whose business director Scott Cooper led the project. Wilsonart UK donated worktops and ID Surfaces gave flooring. Onward Homes, MR Flooring and Whatmores Builders did the fitting.
