Concrete gets £1,000 to make your outdoor space even better!

Young People In The Garden

We’re excited to share some great news with you – Concrete has just been awarded £1,000 from the TopCashback Sustainability Fund to improve the outdoor space at our young person’s housing scheme.

This funding will help us create a more inviting, relaxing, and connected outdoor space for you to enjoy. We’ll be adding things like flowers, planters, benches, BBQs, and other communal features that will help make the space feel more like home.

It’s not just about making the place look nice – we want to create an environment that supports your mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. A space where you can relax, hang out with others, and feel part of a community, which is super important for your recovery and personal growth.

Building better spaces, together
At Concrete, we’re all about working with local organisations that help make a real difference in the community. Partnerships like the one with TopCashback help us do just that, by creating spaces and opportunities that benefit you and everyone in the community.

The TopCashback Sustainability Fund focuses on projects that care about sustainability, healthy living, and building stronger communities. This outdoor project is a perfect fit, and we’re thrilled to bring it to life with their support.

What’s next?
We have 12 months to get everything sorted, which gives us the time to plan every detail and make sure the space meets your needs. We’re looking forward to seeing how it all comes together, and we can’t wait for you to enjoy the changes when they’re done.

Dean Marsh, our Operations Manager, said:
“We’re so grateful for this funding from TopCashback. It’s going to make a big difference for the young people we support. This outdoor space will give everyone somewhere to relax, socialise, and connect, helping with mental health and creating a real sense of belonging.”

TopCashback Chief Executive and Co-Founder, Oliver Ragg said: "We are delighted to have awarded Concrete financial support from the TopCashback Sustainability Fund. As a company, we are extremely passionate about our community, and strive to use our platform to reflect and amplify our core values of inclusivity, sustainability and social responsibility.”

"Our Sustainability Fund is dedicated to championing initiatives that not only improve the environment, but also enhance the wellbeing of Staffordshire residents. Concrete’s project perfectly aligns with these goals, and we’re proud to have contributed to a movement that is driving real positive change in a small and simple way. We look forward to seeing how Concrete’s work flourishes in the months ahead.”

We’ll keep you updated as the work progresses and look forward to seeing how this project can make your space a better place to live.
