It’s Day 3 of #12DaysOfHCE and today we’re supporting a cause a stone’s throw away from our head office in Seacroft!

The Old Fire Station is a decommission fire station in Gipton, Leeds, which has been repurposed into a thriving self-sustaining community and enterprise hub. It is home to six non-profit organisations and hosts community events such as breakfast clubs, English-speaking classes, wellbeing groups and craft workshops.

The centre is also opening its doors to those facing high energy costs this winter with its Warm Welcome service, where people can simply visit the centre and keep warm without an obligation to purchase anything.

Howard Civil Engineering is proudly donating £500 to The Old Fire Station this Christmas which will fund the Christmas dinner it is hosting for volunteers and community members on 15^th December!

Centre development manager Fran Etherington said: “The Old Fire Station is thrilled to be working with Howard Civil Engineering to support the local community – the support of local business means so much to us and enables us to continue providing activities, support and events to local people, especially at this time of heightened need.”

We hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas dinner!

Throughout December, Howard Civil Engineering is spreading festive cheer by donating £5,000 to a variety of charities and community groups across the north of England! We have chosen 12 different causes to help this festive period and we will be documenting these throughout the month using the hashtag #12DaysOfHCE.
