PUPILS from Drury primary school brought some Christmas spirit to residents of Marleyfield House care home. The virtual event was arranged by construction company Willmott Dixon as part of their commitment to deliver social value whilst delivering Flintshire Council’s £8.4m Marleyfield House care home extension. Pupils performed a special virtual Christmas concert for the residents which was displayed on a screen for all the residents to see. One of the residents said: “Thank you so much for yesterday the residents loved it - very emotional.” Maxine, a teacher at the school, sent a message to Willmott Dixon saying: “Just thought I’d send you a quick email to thank you for today and to wish you Merry Christmas… the kids loved it and found it fascinating! It was lovely to see the residents meet their pen pal! I hope they enjoyed the singing too!”

Oldham College have teamed up with Willmott Dixon to make Christmas extra-special for 200 local young people who have been adversely affected by COVID-19.
A joint campaign has seen several thousands of pounds’ worth of items donated or funded in just a matter of days and has produced a huge hoard of morale-boosting goodies.
Oldham College and Willmott Dixon worked with Mahdlo Youth Zone and First Choice Homes Oldham (FCHO) to identify local young people who are NEET – not in education, employment or training – and who have been hit hard by recent events.
EMBRACING innovative new ways of keeping people safe, construction firm Willmott Dixon and Flintshire County Council are on schedule to complete the major expansion of the Marleyfield House care home in Buckley. The £8.4 million redevelopment project will double the number of beds at Marleyfield House from 32 to 64 and increase communal outdoor spaces and accessibility to support residents’ well-being. Each room will have personal outdoor space either through a balcony on the first floor or a patio on the ground, while the extension will also see the creation of new communal areas, medical facilities, offices and store- rooms, extended car parking facilities and extensive sensitive landscaping.
