We were delighted to present Fresh Visions Charity with a cheque for £5000, following our fundraising sky dive last month!

In August, our fantastic team took to the skies and conquered their fears to raise money for Fresh Visions, which is the charitable arm of Southern Housing. The Charity supports children and young adults who face extreme disadvantage, providing them with a platform to develop the confidence and skill set to turn their lives around. https://lnkd.in/ePxEczRe

We are incredibly grateful to our team for taking on such an impressive challenge and would like to thank everyone who kindly donated to sponsor them!

On Friday 29th September 2023, we are taking part in Macmillan Coffee Morning with our annual Bake Off at head office, raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support. 
 
For the 7th year running, the Niblock team will be joining in with competitive spirit and baking their best savoury and sweet goods to fundraise and help the Charity continue their very important work. 

We are going Yellow for Maddie Rose! 💛

Today is Maddie’s Day! The campaign began in 2022 in celebration of the life and work of Maddie Rose, an inspiring young woman who was dedicated to showcasing the wide range of aspirational careers available within the Construction industry.

We are supporting the initiative by going yellow and adopting the Maddie Rose campaign logo for the day, helping to further raise awareness and inspire young people to build a career in the sector.

The Niblock head office team showed up in their denims today for our first ever Denim for Dementia event to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society on #WorldAlzheimersDay!

The donations will directly aid the Charity with their research into the cause, cure, care and prevention of Dementia.

Niblock’s Sky Dive!
 
On Sunday, our team took the plunge and dived 12,000ft to raise money for Fresh Visions!
We are very proud of their efforts to raise money for the Charity to help them continue their fantastic work!
 
We have almost reached our target of raising £5000 for the Charity, however we still need more donations! Please donate on our JustGiving page and help us reach our goal!

All works at Oakwood Court Care Home in Amberley Close, Haywards Heath, have progressed to programme, including the ‘no dig’ construction car park which ensures root protection to the surrounding trees.

On Sunday 6th August, a group of seven brave employees from Niblock Building Contractors are reaching new heights and taking part in a sky dive at The Aerodrome in Ashford to raise money for Fresh Visions.
 
Fresh Visions Charity supports children, young people and adults predominantly in Kent, Sussex, South London and the Midlands, who face extreme disadvantage as a result of poverty, domestic abuse, a lack of education and social exclusion. Fresh Visions’ projects help them to achieve their potential through developing their confidence, motivation and skillset, with the aim of building brighter futures.
 
In the last 24 months alone, they have engaged with and supported 980 people across their programmes. 60% of whom are female, and 64% are from BAME (Black, Asian and minority ethnic) backgrounds.
 
Please help support the Charity continue their fantastic work by donating on our Just Giving page:

You are also welcome to join us on the day and cheer the team on!

Following #MensMentalHealthWeek, we wanted to share some information about a workshop we attended that we were kindly invited to by #TheCliveSmithFoundation. 
 
The workshop was run by Ryan Parke, founder of #TheMensCoach. 
 
Together with a roomful of leaders, we looked at the main factors that influence male wellness and key strategies men can use for better mental health, physical health and life expectancy! 
 
Ryan’s workshop is based on evidence from ground breaking studies and science. He focuses on the endocrine system and the role it plays when it comes to mental health. 
 
We learnt a lot from Ryan at #TheMensCoach and would recommend his workshop to everyone – men and women. It was a real eye opener, providing essential information about how you can support a friend, family member or colleague in need, which is vital when 3/4 deaths from suicide in the UK are Men! 
 
A big thank you to #TheCliveSmithFoundation for inviting us and Ryan Parke for preparing such an inclusive (and what we think should be an essential) session in the mental health industry for everyone!

Managing Director Celebrates 40 Years at Niblock!

“I feel a great sense of pride looking back at my 40-year career at Niblock. I have witnessed many changes within the company and cherish all the memories I have gained along the way. Over the years, we have been involved in a variety of exciting contracts, one highlight that has stayed with me includes designing the first office for the Premier League at the FA’s 15 Lancaster Gate.

I remember the early days clearly, when polaroid cameras were used for surveys because the 35mm film in cameras took 3 days to develop and print!

However, despite the vast changes, I am proud to say that the ethos that guided Niblock from the beginning continues to be a driving force today. We have been fortunate to have a loyal and dedicated workforce both on our sites and at head office. Multiple generations of families work together within our team and we are proud that so many of our employees have chosen to build their own careers with us and also recommend the company to their sons and daughters, which is a testament to the culture within Niblock.

Niblock have a bright future ahead thanks to our dedicated team, strong values and commitment to innovation and I am confident we will continue to make a positive impact within the construction industry.”

– Martin Waters
