Community Bench

The Friendship Bench – A Gift of Connection


KBH Haus proudly supported William Tyndale Primary School, Islington with the donation of a Friendship Bench a colourful and inviting space designed to encourage kindness and connection among students.

More than a seat, the bench became a quiet way for children to signal they’d like a friend to talk to, helping foster inclusion and community spirit on the playground.
Installed as part of our commitment to nurturing supportive spaces, the bench was auctioned during Quiz Night to support the school’s fundraising efforts.

Donated by KBH Haus. Building spaces that bring people together.

Peabody Community Day, Laindon

KBH Haus was proud to take part in the recent Peabody Community Day at the King Edward Community Centre in Laindon. It was a pleasure connecting with local residents, listening to valuable feedback, and lending a helping hand by providing a skip for the removal of bulky furniture and household items.

No community event is complete without great conversation and refreshments—so we made sure to bring along plenty of tea and our signature KBH cupcakes, which proved to be a real crowd-pleaser!

We’re committed to supporting local communities and look forward to many more opportunities to engage and grow together.

Making a Difference, One Home at a Time

Recently, one of Notting Hill Genesis’s residents was unable to return home after a hospital stay. During her recovery, squatters had broken in and caused significant damage, leaving the property unsafe and delaying her discharge.

Our team stepped in to redecorate and re-carpet the damaged rooms, helping to restore comfort and dignity to her living space. Notting Hill Genesis installed a new front door, ensuring the home was safe and secure for her return.This may not have been a large-scale project, but it made a life-changing difference to one resident. For us, that’s what social value is all about, building stronger communities through care, support, and action when it matters most.

St Mungo's Birkenhead Street

Our Contract Manager Ben and Contract Supervisor Matt, volunteered two days of their time at @stmungos Birkenhead Street Hostel, London. KBH Haus provided all materials needed.

The hostel supports single people experiencing homelessness, including those who have been sleeping rough and are living with additional needs such as mental health challenges, substance use issues, or a history of offending.

Ben and Matt spent their time painting the hostel’s reception area, helping to create a warmer and more welcoming entrance for residents and visitors alike. We’re proud to support the important work St Mungo’s does in helping people rebuild their lives.

Pembury Elder’s Christmas Lunch

On Wednesday, 27th November 2024, KBH was proud to support the Pembury Elder’s Christmas Lunch, held at the Pembury Community Centre, Hackney. This wonderful event brought together local elders for a festive day of hot Christmas dinner, entertainment and community spirit.

Our team gave their time to set up the lunch, serve meals to the guests, and ensure everything ran smoothly by assisting with the cleanup. We were also delighted to host the raffle and provide gifts to make the celebration even more special.

It was a privilege to be part of such a meaningful occasion and contribute to creating a warm, joyful experience for the local community.

Together, we celebrate the power of connection and the importance of giving back
