More than just concrete

We have donated 100 cubic metres of specialist concrete to support Jamie’s Farm in making essential improvements at its farm in Bath.

The charity helps disadvantaged young people, predominantly aged 11-16, to thrive through a unique residential programme built around ‘Farming, Family, Therapy and Legacy’ at its sites in Bath, Hereford, Monmouth and Lewes. 

Bespoke concrete from our Farm Range, which is specifically formulated for agricultural applications, was supplied to relay an uneven farmyard to create a safer space by removing potholes and other trip hazards. It also provided increased hardstanding for a for a larger outdoor feeding space for the farm’s animals, which play an important role in the young people’s programme of activities.

James Moorhouse, Heidelberg Materials UK regional manager, said: “The donation forms part of our ongoing commitment to Jamie’s Farm and the real reward is seeing the difference it will make to the charity and the work it does to enhance the lives and wellbeing of young people.”

Jamie Feilden, the Founder of Jamie’s Farm, added: “Heidelberg Materials has been generous in helping us transform our farms in Bath and Hereford from muddy yards to accessible, safe spaces. This has allowed the young people we support to get involved in real farming jobs and gain a sense of achievement from their hard work. Without the support of companies like Heidelberg Materials, we simply cannot achieve the outcomes for disadvantaged young people at this crucial stage in their lives.”

Jamie’s Farm relies on volunteers and donations to assist with the opportunities it offers to equip young people with essential life skills and provide a positive, long-term impact on their behaviour, self-esteem and wellbeing. For more information, visit www.jamiesfarm.org.uk
