IES Supports Community Project with Paint Donation

IES Utilities has helped support a local community initiative in Ellon, Scotland, by donating paint and decorating materials to a volunteering project led by National Gas.

The project, organised by the team at National Gas’ St Fergus Terminal, brought together volunteers to redecorate a residential home operated by the charity Cornerstone, which supports adults with additional needs. The property is home to seven residents, and the work aimed to create a brighter, more comfortable and welcoming living environment.

IES stepped in to provide a range of essential materials at short notice, including paint, brushes, rollers and protective equipment. These supplies enabled volunteers to carry out key improvements to the home, including painting internal rooms and external areas.

Bernard Donovan, IES Project Manager, coordinated the donation, ensuring the materials were ready in time for the volunteering days in June.

The volunteering initiative formed part of National Gas’ wider community and ESG activities, demonstrating how collaboration between organisations can deliver meaningful local impact.

While modest in scale, the contribution highlights IES Utilities’ ongoing commitment to supporting clients and communities, helping to deliver positive change where it is needed most.
