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.

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.

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.

We’ve worked closely with St Mungo's incredible Construction Skills Centre, helping them by supplying materials and resources needed to deliver their accredited courses in plumbing, electrics and more.
Our team has supplied and installed piping for live flushing, a large worktop and unit and two fire doors to enhance hands-on learning. We also set up electrics testing equipment, with our Contract Manager Ben providing all resources and expertise to support their new programme.

It’s been inspiring to see people gaining skills for future success—proud to be part of this impactful initiative!

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

KBH proudly supported the Charlton Triangle community by contributing £500 towards a festive Christmas lunch held on 5th December. The event brought families and neighbours together to celebrate the holiday season with good food, laughter, and community spirit.

In addition to the financial contribution, KBH generously donated a further £500 worth of raffle prizes, ensuring that every child in attendance received a special gift, including a selection box to spread some extra holiday cheer.

We’re delighted to have been part of this wonderful occasion and to support the Charlton Triangle community in making the season memorable for all.
