Builders’ merchant Jewson has continued its longstanding support for The Sparkle Foundation UK with a recent donation that will help to rebuild the lives of families who have survived domestic abuse.
Jewson teamed up with Worcester Bosch to supply and fit a new boiler for a safe house run by The Sparkle Foundation UK, replacing an old outdated system that had been unable to supply consistent hot water and heating.
Jewson has supported the Cornwall-based charity for over 20 years, with regular product donations, fundraising and volunteering from colleagues.
Andy Jordan, Divisional Managing Director for Jewson in the Southwest, said: “The Sparkle Foundation UK carries out vital work to support vulnerable people in the local community and we’re incredibly proud of our longstanding partnership. From lending a hand and donating hundreds of products over the years, to providing logistical support when service users need the help of a tradesperson, we are always happy to help in any way that we can.”
Leigh Yates, Founder and Chair of The Sparkle Foundation UK, said: “Before this donation, providing consistent heating and hot water was a significant challenge. When no one else could step in, Worcester Bosch provided a world-class product and Jewson ensured the partnership was seamless.
“Now, our service users have the use of a hot shower in a space where they finally feel protected. This level of corporate support makes a tangible difference to the most vulnerable members of our community because this is more than just infrastructure. Instead, it is a vital contribution to the physical and mental wellbeing of people who need it most, as they begin to rebuild their lives.”
A spokesperson for the safe house said: “Having reliable heating and hot water isn’t a luxury for our service users – it’s the foundation of dignity and safety at a time when life is truly challenging. We are so incredibly grateful to Worcester Bosch, Jewson and The Sparkle Foundation UK for providing the warmth and comfort these families truly deserve.”
