Parcelforce workers pave the way forward at nature area
Work colleagues from Leeds and Wakefield spent their free time paving the way for people to enjoy some of the region’s natural attractions.
Eight workers from Parcelforce Worldwide’s depot in Stourton re-laid a path with limestone chippings at the Engine Fields Nature Area at Yeadon, while 19 helpers from the company’s customer service centre in Wakefield created a garden and seating area at the Phyllis Harvey Horse and Donkey Trust in Weetwood, Leeds.
Their efforts were part of Parcelforce Worldwide’s National Community Team Challenge Day’s activities where more than 250 people from the firm gave up their Saturday to help people in their communities.
Steve Clavering, countryside ranger, said: “Engine Fields is a wonderful wildlife site and we’re very grateful to Parcelforce Worldwide for helping to improve the footpaths so that the local community will be able to enjoy its tranquil atmosphere.” The aim of the community day was to encourage colleagues to work more closely as teams and as most are shift-workers it gave them a rare chance to get together.
Parcelforce Worldwide gave each team GBP500 for costs and preparation.
