A shed for YAWN's allotment - thanks to Vauxhall volunteers
Volunteers from Vauxhall headed up to Stockwood allotments to help Luton-based charitable group YAWN build a shed.
The group provides day opportunities for young adults with learning disabilities. It’s a non-profit community interest company which was set up by two parents with disabled young people who had nowhere to go. Now YAWN and YAWN Life offer a place and a whole range of purposeful activities.
They were recently given an allotment and contacted Vauxhall to see if the automotive giant would supply and fit a shed as part of their support programme for local charities.
Vauxhall community co-ordinator Cherie Denton agreed and co-opted contractor Careys to help.
She said: “They kindly supplied the sand and paving slabs for the base of the shed and helped our volunteers lay it.
