Animal housing renovation at Stepney City Farm

» ONDULINE CONTINUES TO showcase its commitment to sustainability and community by donating and installing much-needed roofing solutions to Stepney City Farm , a beloved rural oasis in urban Tower Hamlets for both animals and residents alike .
Stepney City Farm , nestled in the heart of East London , serves as a vital educational resource and refuge for a diverse array of animals . The 4.5 acre site is not only a working farm , but also features an extensive education programme that sees more than 5,000 children and young people benefit from funded classes , tours and projects each year .
Recognising the positive impact for animals of the right roofing solution , the Onduline team stepped in to provide their expertise and support . The donation included materials and labour to re-roof all the animal buildings on the farm , ensuring they are protected from the elements and providing a comfortable environment for the inhabitants .
Creating a conducive environment for good animal welfare hinges on reducing disruptions and preserving a peaceful environment . Onduline ’ s corrugated roofing sheets remain popular among animal caregivers because they offer a substantially quieter experience — up to four times quieter than metal options — especially in challenging weather conditions .
Paul Duffy , Managing Director of Onduline UK , said : “ At Onduline , we believe in the power of collaboration , supporting local charities and giving back to the communities where we operate . The team at Stepney City Farm carry out vital work and we are honoured to support their mission to promote high welfare , sustainable farming .”
As part of Kingspan ’ s Planet Passionate Communities programme , a team from Onduline spent a day at Stepney City Farm , not only installing the roofing systems but also rolling up their sleeves to assist with various farming tasks . This hands-on approach underscores
Onduline ’ s commitment to making a tangible difference in the communities they serve .
Clare Hawkins , CEO of Stepney City Farm , concluded : “ We ’ re incredibly grateful for Onduline ’ s backing as we enhance our facilities . The ongoing support from businesses and volunteer groups is invaluable in sustaining our farm ’ s daily activities .”
