Facilities management provider Boden Group has launched a new Community Support Scheme, an initiative that enables its teams to support local charities, schools, and community organisations with projects which they would otherwise be unable to complete.
The scheme gives staff the chance to volunteer their time and skills, with the company also providing equipment and materials for small-scale projects in the local community. With offices in Barnstaple, Tiverton and Portsmouth, Boden is looking to support projects across the Southwest and into Hampshire.
Several projects have already been completed, or are currently in progress. These include assisting with conservation work at the Woolacombe sand dunes, replacing broken floodlights at a local Barnstaple Primary School, and supporting Encompass Southwest by renovating rooms so that they can be used to provide holistic therapy spaces.
Beth Dickerson, a member of the Boden Senior Management Team, said:
“The Community Support Scheme is an excellent opportunity to utilise our facilities management skills and capabilities to give back to our local communities. This Scheme gives our team a chance to make a real difference, using our skills and resources to help projects that matter across the areas we operate in.”
With the scheme now live, Boden is hoping to be able to support even more projects and organisations.
Boden is now inviting other local companies and facilities management providers to get involved. With more requests than they can take on alone, Boden is looking for individuals and companies who would like to offer their support, to allow even more projects to be completed.

The way we work has changed – yet, many organisations are still relying on rigid, one-size-fits-all tools to manage desks and meeting rooms, according to a new study from workplace management solutions provider, Matrix Booking.
Spreadsheets, calendars, and generic booking software may have worked once, but they’re struggling to keep pace with today’s flexible, hybrid workforce. The result? Wasted time, frustrated employees, and expensive underutilised space.
Matrix Booking’s new study, ‘One-size-fits-all booking systems don’t work for today’s workforce’, explores why current systems are falling short – and how organisations can reimagine workspace management to boost efficiency, employee experience, and cost savings.
