Carl Peet from Rock Foundation UK Ltd comments: “We are very grateful to The Screwfix Foundation for donating these much needed funds to support our charity. The Rock Foundation is a front-line charitable organisation that has created new and unique provision for young people and adults with learning disabilities and those who are disadvantaged. Through a wide variety of practical workshops and supported work placements, we aim to help our service users develop life and employment skills, to increase their self-esteem and independence, and ultimately improve their quality of life.  The funding will be used towards decorating our main Heneage Road site, in order to give our students a bright and friendly welcome back after lockdown. We’d like to thank everyone who was involved in the fundraising – it’s been a great help to us.”

Steve Dunston, Screwfix Foundation Trustee said: “Supporting charities such as Rock Foundation UK Ltd with much-needed funding to help fix, repair, maintain and improve their facilities is vital. It’s great to see this donation go toward such an important project that benefits those in need.”
