Northern Ireland based construction firm, Henry Brothers, has partnered with the Scottish Prison Service to improve its joinery training programme, aimed at boosting inmates' employability skills.

As part of its ongoing work with the Dunfermline Army Reserve Project, Henry Brothers has acquired five eight-seater picnic tables produced through the Prison Service training initiative.

Ian Henry, CR Director at Henry Brothers, commented: "As a responsible business, Henry Brothers is passionate about supporting the areas in which it operates and providing opportunities to enhance local spaces.

"This initiative embodies our core values, reflecting our commitment to social responsibility and collaboration for positive impact, and we are thrilled that we can give back in a way that benefits the wider community."

Henry Brothers, with an office in Cardross, Dunbartonshire, won the contract to build the new Army Reserve Centre in Dunfermline in 2022. As part of their commitment to community support, they are donating five tables to Fife Council for use in Dunfermline Public Park, Pittencreiff Park and St Leonard's Park, in alignment with the Park Improvement Strategy.

Adele Rae, General Manager at SPS Fauldhouse said: "Individuals in the care of the Scottish Prison Service have been involved in the manufacturing of a range of quality garden products for over 35 years.

"The joinery training programmes in our prisons give people the opportunity to gain valuable new skills and qualifications and make positive changes to their lives. We are delighted to see that their work is benefiting the local community in Dunfermline."

Fife Council's Convener of the City of Dunfermline Area Committee, Cllr James Calder commented: "Henry Brothers plays a vital role in community support, and its recent generous donation will have a notable impact.

"The contributed benches are expected to enhance our outdoor facilities, encouraging increased use of the park and contributing to the improved health and well-being of the local community by fostering a connection with nature.

"The success of the Park Improvement Strategy, which seeks to upgrade facilities for residents, workers, and visitors alike, is dependent, in part, on contributions from responsible local businesses such as Henry Brothers and we are thrilled to have their support in this endeavour."
