Natta’s Legacy – Natta pledges to give back to the communities where we build

Working with the local community at the sites where we work is always high on our agenda. Any construction project will impact the local area and Natta supports any initiatives to give something back to the community. Keen to further our cause to support charities, local initiatives and communities where we work, every year we donate our time and resources to undertake a community-building project near a project that we are working on. Where possible, local labour will be employed and local materials sourced.

Communities that we have supported

Natta constructed a new helipad free of charge for EHAAT and Basildon and Thurrock University Hospital. Patients taken to Basildon Hospital by Essex & Herts Air Ambulance now arrive via a specially-constructed helipad at Basildon Golf Club.

In 2020, we built new patios and pathways at the LVD Church in Langley Green to improve the access to the church for their community as well as completing the build of a new ‘Wildlife Garden’ at Woking and Sam Beare Hospices.

We also supported the 1st Chertsey Scout Group with drainage works in Longcross where we were working as principal contractor on a project for our client, Crest Nicholson 

Our more recent community projects include the build of a new footpath for residents at Shipley Bridge Lane in Copthorne in March 2021. The works also included resurfacing the driveways and laybys and installing edgings.

Recent Social Value projects

Natta kick-started 2022 by creating a beautiful Japanese Garden at Woking & Sam Beare Hospices in Woking. We are currently working nearby for LifeBuild Solutions undertaking the groundworks for a new 88-unit housing development called Canalside. At the Hospice, we provided the materials and manpower to transform the originally overgrown space into a calm and peaceful area for hospice staff.

Also based in Woking is the British Bee Charity. In March Natta renovated the existing space at their apiary by donating and installing an office container which is worth over £3,000. We also painted the container to give it a makeover to transform its appearance. This new addition has provided much-needed office space for them. They are using it for their Bee Keepers, school visits, and training sessions; improving their educational promise to the local community.

We support any involvement with The Considerate Constructors Scheme. A designated team is available to help with any project registered with the Scheme.
