Cirrus Logic employee volunteers transformed run-down garden furniture at a local community hub to help create an inviting outdoor space for older people.

Volunteers at Cirrus Logic tackle rundown furniture at Penfold Community Hub

The employee volunteer team of nine, previously based at Marble Arch House, sanded garden tables and chairs, added filler to damaged surfaces, and gave the outdoor furniture a fresh lick of paint on 3 September 2024.

Penfold Community Hub is a service delivered within a local care home that provides residential accommodation for 54 people, many of whom have dementia, physical disabilities or additional care needs. The Hub runs a programme of activities for local older residents, some living with dementia in the community.

The garden at Penfold Community Hub will benefit hundreds of local older people who use the space to improve their well-being and make connections to combat isolation.

Finishing touches are made to the garden furniture

Staff at Cirrus Logic, an international company that provides tech solutions transforming the audio and electronics industries, are encouraged to positively impact the communities in which they live and work. The Cirrus Logic Environmental Action Network (CLEAN) provides employees the opportunity to engage in the community and make a difference to a range of local environments.
