FIVE Volunteers from UK Flooring Direct helped to improve the surroundings at the RSPCA Coventry and District Branch in Allesley.
The team were given tasks including painting an outside fence and helping to tidy up indoors.
The UK Flooring Direct team were also introduced to some of the animals before setting off to work.
The volunteering day was made possible through UK Flooring Direct’s Employer Supported Volunteering (ESV) programme.
The programme gives staff a full day of paid leave to volunteer with a charity, organisation or good cause.
The RSPCA Coventry and District Branch is one of four organisations the firm has partnered with as part of the ESV programme, with its staff choosing whether to volunteer at the chosen causes or opt for one close to their heart.
The RSPCA branch has rehomed over 300 animals this year and currently has a waiting list of 69 dogs and 74 cats.
Charlotte Hawthorne, from the RSPCA Coventry and District Branch, said: “We are so grateful to be partnering with UK Flooring Direct as part of the company’s ESV programme.
“There are so many jobs that we don’t get time to do because all of our time is spent taking care of our animals, so having the team from UK Flooring Direct come in was a massive help.”
Ashleigh McKenna, HR advisor at UK Flooring Direct, added: “It’s really important to us that we give back to the communities where we are based, and our ESV programme really helps us to get out to great causes such as the RSPCA Coventry and District Branch.
“On top of that, it’s great for team morale and team building and shows everyone both inside and outside the company the kind of values we have as a business.”
