The Purfleet Community Hub

The Purfleet Community Pantry and Café officially launched on Thursday, 22nd August! We are thrilled to have been part of this wonderful community event.

KBH Haus provided and installed all the equipment needed for the new pantry and café, a space designed to offer local residents better access to affordable, healthy food and everyday essentials.

The café, now fully equipped with a kitchen is run by the amazing volunteers from Purfleet Community Hub who said, “once a dream is now a reality”. Residents can benefit from a lifetime membership, significantly reducing food costs and making it easier to shop without having to travel far from home.

Special thanks to Councillor Kairen Raper, the Mayor of Thurrock, Essex, who opened the café and joined in the celebrations with the local community!

West Blatchington Primary School

KBH Building Services Ltd recognised the importance of creating a wildlife garden for the school, being in a city area where many of the local children do not have access to a garden of their own. This outdoor space it benefits children greatly! We completed the project from start to finish, we had over fifty team members and volunteers, working together we achieved something we are immensely proud of. Knowing the garden will continue to bring joy and wellbeing to future generations to come is a brilliant feeling.

"I am writing to say a huge thank you for the amazing transformation of our wildlife garden. Both yourself and your team of volunteers have provided us with a very special gift - the use of an incredible outdoor classroom that had sadly become inaccessible. It is an area that our children and wider school community have loved in the past and will now, thanks to your incredible generosity, be able to cherish again". – Rachel Simmonds, Head Teacher

Cumberland Market

Cumberland Market – Peabody requested a facelift to a community centre based near Cumberland Market, initially to redecorate it and make it a more inviting community asset. On survey, KBH identified additional works we could complete to transform the centre including supply and fitting of new vinyl flooring, a canopy for outside and jet washing of the exterior and patio area to the rear. A total of 480 hours of staff volunteered time was spent on the project.

Kitchen Refurbishment

KBH Haus donated the equipment and installed a complete kitchen. This refurbishment was for Christian Action Housing Association, their tenant needed a working kitchen that would fulfil their needs. This project ensured a better quality of living for the tenant and freed up funds for Christian Action to fund more money to the community based projects.
