Case Study - GES and Sandwell Local House Project

Posted 14th July 2025

Our partners GES invited NHP and the Sandwell Local House Project (LHP) to their Summer Townhall event (which is a staff conference they host each July).  

It was a fantastic event, in the morning there were a variety of business updates, followed by presentations about our partnership, from NHP and Sandwell LHP, as well as an inspiring presentation from one of the young people who was supported by volunteers from GES when she moved into her property. This individual has since applied for and secured a job with GES. 

In the afternoon different parts of the business hosted a variety of summer fete-style stalls. NHP and Sandwell LHP also hosted a stall with different activities, including Nerf target practice, guess the sweets in the jar and find the lollipop. Facilitator Meg also courageously had cream pies thrown in her face for donations. 

Staff from GES paid a small charge to participate in each of the stalls’ activities. All of this was added up and matched by GES, totalling a huge donation of £4766, which was generously gifted to Sandwell LHP, for the young people to use towards additional activities in their project.
