At the beginning of the year we made the commitment to sponsor the Ash Family Row, a fundraising challenge undertaken by the Ash family Charlotte, Camilla, James and Henry who are rowing 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean in memory of Robert Ash, their husband and father, who died by suicide in September 2023.

Their goal is to raise significant funds for the bereavement‑support charity Suicide&Co. They will take on the ‘World’s Toughest Row Atlantic’ in December 2027, travelling unsupported from La Gomera (Canary Islands) to Antigua, aiming to become the first complete family unit to complete the crossing. The challenge is both a tribute to Robert and a mission to ensure others bereaved by suicide receive vital counselling and support.

What was once the former B&M site at Clifton Moor and redeveloped by Marrtree Investments into Marrtree Business Park, has now been fully fitted out across two units for St Leonard’s Hospice, creating a new donation centre and retail store for the charity.

The works included the installation of new mezzanine floors in both units, with interconnecting openings formed at ground and mezzanine levels. Unit 1 was configured to house offices, welfare facilities, a canteen, hot‑desk workspaces and a meeting room with folding doors, alongside ground-floor racking space and a new curtain‑walled entrance. Unit 2 provides additional storage, new racking and the main retail area with a canteen formed from new structural steels.

Firewalls have been constructed around staircases and the meeting room. M&E installations comprise lighting, fire alarms and CCTV systems. All areas have received full decoration and floor finishes, with carpet and vinyl on the mezzanine levels and a protective sealant applied to the ground-floor concrete.

The centre is looking to open in July.
