Creating a Beach for the Public

Acts of goodwill go a long way towards fostering positive relationships between construction sites and their community.

See the examples below for how one site addressed this:

The site donated 20 tonnes of non-toxic sand to create a beach area for the public to enjoy.
They also provided table tennis tables around town as part of the summer ‘Ping’ event.
The initiative was part of the Better Barnsley redevelopment project to try and maintain footfall for traders in the temporary markets while the main building was being refurbished.
Once the summer is over the site will deliver the sand to a local good cause so nothing goes to waste.
