CONTRACTORS currently delivering the new £10 million Hereford Transport Hub have been volunteering in the local community and have helped transform a farm project.

With the help of Herefordshire Voluntary Organisations Support Service, the Hereford Community Farm on Grafton Lane was identified as an opportunity for McPhillips to give back through a corporate volunteering project.

Over the last three weeks, three members of McPhillips staff have worked full time on the site, with all equipment, materials and resources supplied by them alongside donations from suppliers.

The farm is an inclusive, therapeutic community interest company that supports individuals of all ages and abilities through nature-based activities.

By offering structured, hands-on programmes the farm empowers those with additional needs or mental health challenges to build self-esteem, learn new skills and self-manage their well-being.
