At Crown Workspace, we\u2019re always looking for ways to make a meaningful difference – and one of the ways we do so is through our Giving Back project<\/a>. Recently, we had the opportunity to donate 25 office chairs from a client site to Pembrokeshire Association of Voluntary Services (PAVS)<\/a>, and the impact has been both immediate and appreciated.<\/p>\n

Supporting a Key Community Resource<\/h2>\n

PAVS plays a vital role in supporting community groups and volunteers across Pembrokeshire. Like many charities, their focus is on delivering frontline services, and that often means office furniture is a luxury they simply can\u2019t prioritise. When we heard they were in need, we worked to understand how we could match up the removal of redundant furniture from a nearby client with the needs of PAVS in West Wales.<\/p>\n

The chairs we donated have now replaced a mix of old, mismatched, and uncomfortable seating. It might sound like a small thing, but for the staff and volunteers at PAVS, it\u2019s made a real difference. As they put it, \u201cWhere we work \u2013 the actual building and space \u2013 is as important to us as who we work for. After all, we spend a good number of hours a week there, so being comfortable and having a pleasant environment to work in makes a difference to our individual and team wellbeing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What the Giving Back Project Is All About<\/h2>\n

This is what the Giving Back Project is all about: making sure good-quality furniture doesn\u2019t go to waste and instead finds a second life where it\u2019s genuinely needed.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re grateful to the team at PAVS for the work they do, and also for writing this wonderful article: The Giving Back Project comes to PAVS! | Pembrokeshire Association of Voluntary Services.<\/em><\/a> An additional big thanks to Ben and Mark from our team for delivering the chairs to PAVS (and carrying quite a few up several flights of stairs!).<\/p>\n

Get Involved<\/h3>\n
