BIG-hearted businesses grabbed a spade to transform a Leamington allotment for a worthy cause.
Six Leamington and Warwick-based certified B Corporations joined forces to revitalise an allotment for The Esther Project, a Leamington-based charity dedicated to supporting women facing various life challenges.
This collaborative effort was part of the global B Corp Month celebration which takes place in March each year.
The transformed allotment will provide women supported by The Esther Project with the opportunity to grow their own produce, fostering self-sufficiency and offering a therapeutic space for relaxation and reflection.
Certified B Corporations are businesses that meet high standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose.
Kerry Steward from The Esther Project said:“We at the Esther Project are incredibly grateful for the support from these amazing B Corporations, who have come together to help bring our allotment project to life. This space will not only give our Esther ladies the opportunity to grow their own produce but also provide a peaceful sanctuary where they can relax and reflect.
“The positive impact this will have on their mental, physical, and emotional well-being is immeasurable, and we’re so excited to see this project flourish.”
Sophie Howe, CEO at Comtec Translations, added: “It was a real privilege to support Lianne and Kerry at The Esther Project. The work they do for vulnerable women in Warwickshire is truly inspiring, and we were so happy to help in creating a peaceful, restorative space for the women they support. It was also a joy to come together with other brilliant local B Corps to make this happen – a great example of what being a B Corp is all about.”
