Cardo Enhances Community with New Homes and Holiday Support in Lichfield
Cardo has successfully completed the refurbishment of two flats, transforming them into five welcoming homes for those in need of temporary accommodation in Lichfield. This development is part of an ongoing collaboration between Lichfield District Council and Cardo, aimed at addressing the urgent need for more housing for vulnerable individuals.
In line with its commitment to social value and community support, Cardo has donated Aldi vouchers to the new tenants to help them settle in and prepare for Christmas. Additionally, a decorated Christmas tree was gifted to Lichfield District Council for the garden outside their offices, bringing festive cheer to the community.
Leigh Bullock, Managing Director of Cardo (Central), expressed pride in the project, stating,
“Our team has worked tirelessly to ensure this project not only meets local housing needs but creates a space where people can thrive. It’s incredibly rewarding to know that these homes will provide a safe and welcoming space for those who need it most, especially around Christmas time. Cardo aims to leave a positive, lasting impact that extends beyond the building process. We’re grateful for the opportunity to support local causes and strengthen our ties with the people who make our community so special.”
Further reinforcing its commitment to the local community, Cardo has donated essential items to Hednesford Food Bank and Pathway Project, a women’s refuge in Lichfield. In response to the increasing demand for food support, the team at Cardo organised an office-wide collection, providing much-needed supplies to Hednesford Food Bank. These donations will help the food bank continue its vital mission of supporting individuals and families facing food poverty, ensuring they have access to nutritious meals during challenging times.
Cardo also extended its support to Pathway Project, which offers a lifeline to victims of domestic abuse. By providing safe accommodation and a range of essential services, the refuge plays a critical role in helping individuals rebuild their lives in a secure and supportive environment.
