THAMES Water staff have been taking part in the company's Time to Give volunteering initiative and are undertaking a series of challenges in the local community over the coming months.
Seven volunteers from the customer centre in Swindon set about building a compost bin for Root & Branch, near Watchfield.
Root & Branch is a charity offering therapeutic gardening opportunities for people with mental health difficulties.
Project manager Liz Clarke said: "The Thames Water challenge day has helped Root & Branch enormously.
"We now have a sturdy, well made compost bin that is easy to use and attractive. The help they have provided has been invaluable and I recommend Business Challenges to any community organisation."
The challenges have been sourced through Volunteer Centre Swindon who work with volunteer involving organisations and businesses promoting employee supported volunteering.
If your business has a team that would like to take part in a challenge in the community, contact Heidi Mabbott at Volunteer Centre Swindon on 01793 420557.
