Volunteer workers help Canklow kids with pond project

KIND-hearted metalworkers ditched their day jobs last week to help children install pond plants and create a walkway.

Staff from London & Scandinavian in Templeborough headed to Canklow Woods Primary School to take part in Give & Gain Day, the UK's largest and only day of action for employee volunteers.

Employees from LSM joined an expected 6,000 others from 212 companies who are volunteering their time to help communities across the UK, injecting £1 million man hours into community projects.
