NATIONAL Grid staff mucked in at Iver Environment Centre (IEC) on Thursday last week when volunteers gave the premises a spring clean.
Around 15 volunteers swapped officewear for wellies and gardening gloves as they cleared grounds and ponds and spruced up fences at the centre in Slough Road, Iver Heath.
The IEC is part of National Grid’s network of six sites, promoting awareness and enjoyment of the natural environment and encouraging people of all ages and abilities to explore and discover nature and food growing.Debra Frankiewicz, centre manager at IEC said: “We are set in 2.5 acres of land and keeping on top of the natural environment is a challenge. We offer a safe, contained site for activities for young people, teachers, families and people with disabilities.” The activity was among 17 countrywide events organised by National Grid as part of Responsible Business Week. Over the last year, around 3,000 National Grid employees were involved with volunteering, citizenship and fundraising activities with the charities and organisations that the company supports.
