Lowfields donation goes to great use.

On Friday 3rd June 2016, 9 colleagues from Lowfield Timber Frames, part of the SJR Group, successfully completed the National 3 Peaks Challenge in just over 21.5 hours. The aim was to raise funds for the Shrewsbury & Telford NHS Trust and more specifically their Swan Scheme which provides much needed support and End of Life Care to patients and their families.

The Shrewsbury & Telford NHS Trust have become a valued Client to the Group and as such the aim was to raise as much funds as possible for their Trust Charity as a token of our continued support. We raised over £6,000 thanks to the kind generosity of suppliers and customers alike.

Just over two years later, the Swan Scheme has successfully created 20 Swan Rooms, plus a pop up swan room. The Swan Rooms are a space for patients that are at end of life to use, allowing relatives to spend valuable time with their loved one in a more peaceful and calming environment. The rooms contain things such as CD players, mood lights, beautiful pictures and reclining chairs.
