A team from McTaggart Construction has volunteered to deliver essential refurbishment works at Hampden Primary School after being moved by the dedication of the teaching staff at an industry event.
The efforts included repairing walls and floors, removing partitions, fully painting a room, and fixing damages to walls.
Three volunteer decorators devoted a full week to the project, while a joiner contributed two days of work. McTaggart said the initiative exemplifies the firm’s commitment to supporting the Glasgow community which benefits from the specialist services provided at Hampden Primary School.
Headteacher Virginia Smith said, “At Hampden School we are so thrilled with the work completed by McTaggart Construction. The difference that they have made to the space is almost unbelievable – a complete transformation from a dark and dingy space to a light, bright and open space. Their attention to detail went above and beyond and they were so helpful to us during the process.
“The children are loving the new space. They have so much more space to play in and the lovely bright and fresh décor makes the room a pleasure to be in. We will never forget their generosity and are so grateful to the team who helped us.”
McTaggart Construction became the first homebuilder in Scotland to sign up to The Buy Social Pledge. This initiative, overseen by Scottish Enterprise Scotland, aims to strengthen opportunities for social and supported enterprises within the country’s supply chain.
The business also invested more than £462,000 in social enterprise last year, and currently has commitments for orders with RSBI Kitchens, Community Wood Recycling and Scotland’s Bravest Manufacturing Company in Erskine, which helps veterans and others with disabilities or from a disadvantage.
