CASE STUDY – PRUPIM at Bruce House
A group of employees from real estate investment managers PRUPIM were LandAid’s first ever corporate volunteers and took part in a day’s painting and decorating at Bruce House, a young people’s hostel run by Centrepoint. PRUPIM approached us when their Fund and Investment Management team decided they wanted to do something more charitable for their teambuilding away day. The day was extremely productive, all the volunteers worked hard and completely transformed three young people’s bedrooms and living areas. Outcomes ‘It was good to think that our work was for a really good cause and would be appreciated by people less fortunate than ourselves.’ PRUPIM volunteer ‘A highly worthwhile event which went according to plan and is well worth repeating.’ PRUPIM volunteer ‘It was an absolute pleasure having the PRUPIM team help with this project. The young people that had their flats painted were very appreciative and the staff were extremely impressed with the end result and have already asked about the next time they can have a similar project happen.’ Centrepoint Volunteering Officer |
