GEDA staff complete Willowbank Challenge

Dedicated staff from GEDA Construction have completed a Business in the Community Cares Challenge in Willowbank Community Resource Centre in Dungannon. 

In the past, employers might have organised teambuilding days which may, for example, have simply been leisure activities. More and more employers now look for challenges with added value that help develop people while leaving lasting impacts on the community.

Big hearted employees from the award winning company armed themselves with brushes and paints to paint a special mural on one of the portakabins at the site. As well as this, other parts of the premises were painted and a concreted area was prepared as a car parking site.

Anne McGlone, Manager at the resource centre, said; “Willowbank are absolutely delighted that local company Geda agreed to rejuvenate the outside of the building and we were amazed that the company was prepared to be so generous with their time and resources.”

Business in the Community helps companies act responsibly through employee volunteering, including team and individual opportunities, enabling people to expand their skills in a totally new environment. 

Business in the Community Northern Ireland Director, Martin Howell, commented, "In the past, employers might have organised teambuilding days which may, for example, have simply been leisure activities. 

“More and more employers now look for challenges with added value that help develop people while leaving lasting impacts on the community.
