Morro Partnerships, a key delivery partner on City of Wolverhampton Council housing framework, has continued to prove its commitment to community value by leading partners in a refurb project at a local resource centre in Bushbury, Wolverhampton.
The leading partnerships developer is currently developing two new council housing sites in the area – ‘Magic Gardens’ off Sandmere Rise and land off Old Fallings Crescent.
Helping extend its impact beyond bricks and mortar, Morro has collaborated with the council and subcontractor D&R Contract Services Limited to repaint and refurbish the well-used Bushbury Triangle Resource Centre – at no extra cost to the community.
The centre, which provides free services including children’s gardening clubs, breakfast sessions, and homelessness support, had not been redecorated in 25 years. The interior has now been fully refreshed using donated paint from Dulux, breathing new life into a facility that is central to the neighbourhood’s wellbeing.
Abdul Mozzamdar, head of social purpose, Morro Partnerships, said: “Bushbury Triangle Resource Centre is an invaluable service for the local community, which I experienced firsthand when I visited the centre last November.
“The commitment from the volunteering residents is highly commendable, and it is a key example of true community spirit, which I feel should be emulated across all cities, towns and villages in England.
“Morro Partnerships has committed to supporting communities in which we work, live, and play, and this intervention highlights our commitment to make lasting changes for the community to enjoy for generations to come.
“A big thank you goes to D&R Contract Services Limited for its support in helping the community.”
Steve Harris, Bushbury Triangle Chair of Trustees, said: “We are really grateful as we couldn’t do it ourselves. It has vastly transformed the building which hadn’t been decorated in 25 years.
“Having a nicer environment will help us provide better services to the community and encourage people to use the centre.”
City of Wolverhampton Council Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for City Housing, Councillor Steve Evans, said: “Bushbury Triangle Resource Centre provides invaluable support and services to city residents and continues to grow in popularity.
“Their home needed a refresh and hats off to everyone who gave their time, equipment and supplies to support this invaluable asset at the heart of the Bushbury community.
“When we select our council housing development partners, as well as demanding they deliver quality and sustainable homes for our residents, we expect them to provide wider benefits to the community.
“We have built a thriving working relationship with Morro Partnerships and I’m delighted they are supportive of our work to maintain well connected neighbourhoods.”
