Construction company, Stepnell, first started supporting us last year after reaching out to us about their employee volunteering programme.

Employees from the company are all incredibly skilled, and over the last year they have fulfilled a number of projects for our families including transforming a family’s garden and decorating a child’s bedroom. On top of this, they have supported us in a fundraising capacity, volunteering at events and with different campaigns.

Isobel* whose son Harry’s* bedroom was redecorated by Stepnell was delighted with their work, she said:

“Throughout Harry’s treatment, we shared a bedroom – I wanted to be close to him in case he needed me in the night, but as time went on, I wanted to encourage Harry to sleep in his own bedroom. I wanted to make it a fun, safe space for Harry and our Family Support Worker, Sam, said Momentum might be able to help with this. They arranged a Zoom call with Stepnell where we discussed ideas, and Harry contributed his thoughts too! We made a plan for an Avengers-themed mural, with the other walls painted blue and before long, Stepnell were at the flat getting to work!

Stepnell were truly amazing, and I can’t thank them enough for what they did. They kept the whole thing a surprise for Harry, despite him being in the lounge while they were painting! Harry is chuffed to bits with his room, and every time anyone comes over, he insists on showing them his room! He is really happy sleeping in there now and is busy collecting Marvel Squishmallows to match his mural.”

An enormous thank you to Stepnell for everything they are doing – the impact they are having on our supported families is immeasurable.
