As many of you will be aware, at WT Skip Hire we like to do our bit to help local charities. We have previously used our incredibly popular skip art events as an opportunity to raise funds for good causes and were therefore delighted to be able to assist another local charity when they recently contacted us for help with their refurbishment.


Age Concern Great Yarmouth (ACGY) has recently taken over the old Poundstretcher store in the town and we have been providing them with skip services during their renovations of the building. Once completed, the unit will be transformed into a new activity centre, providing support and activities to elderly residents of Great Yarmouth.


Speaking to the Great Yarmouth Mercury, ACGY Services Manager Jackie Tierney said “We want to be in there as soon as possible, and we’ve got the curiosity factor because people are looking in and asking what is going on. It’s going to be a centre of excellence, which older people can call their own.”


It is expected that the new centre will be open five days a week, with the ground floor being set aside to offer a variety of services and activities including:


  • Seated exercises
  • Soft ball tennis
  • A dance floor 
  • Afternoon tea
  • A point of information and support

In addition to that, the upper floor will be the charity’s administration offices; as well as having meeting and training rooms which will be available for rent by other organisations. As part of the work to prepare the centre, we have provided a series of 3 yard skips to aid with the removal of cardboard and other general waste.


Over the years we have assisted many businesses and organisations with site clearances and with a range of skip sizes to available, we can recommend the most appropriate size for your project.


If you are looking to carry out a refurbishment, we can provide skips in a variety of sizes to suit your requirements. Contact us on 01493 668118 or info@wtskiphire.co.uk to discuss you project.
