Sometimes, it’s the little things that make a big difference. For this #12DaysofHCE, we’re supporting a local community to bring back something special.

In the village of Fangboss, located in the East Riding of Yorkshire, we’re donating £400 to help pay for a new bench. The previous millennium bench (named as such for being placed at the turn of the millennium) was once situated at the southern end of the parish, however was removed due to it becoming unsafe, following years of bearing the brunt of the weather.

The bench was particularly well used as a result of it being located near several popular walking routes throughout the town. With it having so much value to the local community, we knew lending a hand to replace it would be a worthwhile cause!

Fangoss’ bench stands (or rather sits) as a reminder that little things like this can make a big difference. Something as small as a quaint place to sit can have a real impact on communities like Fangfoss, and we’re proud to have a part in ensuring these little amenities don’t go amiss.
