Lyme Wood Grange

McCarthy and Stone’s Audlem Team Extends the Hand of Friendship to Local School

McCarthy and Stone has donated a buddy bench to neighbouring Audlem St James Primary School in order to help foster friendship outside of the classroom.

The brightly-coloured bench, which is now positioned in the playground, is intended to promote positive mental wellbeing, by giving pupils a special place where they can go if they are looking for a companion.

Lyme Wood Grange Honours Derek McKelvey

Retirees in the idyllic Cheshire village of Audlem, joined staff and homeowners for a summer garden party at McCarthy and Stone’s new Retirement Living development, Lyme Wood Grange, located on McKelvey Way.

As part of the celebrations, a tree was planted in the development’s landscaped gardens to pay tribute to the late Derek McKelvey – an influential community member – for his lifetime contribution to the village of Audlem. Derek was a well-known figure in the community, having been the Chair of several village organisations. Additionally, he owned, and successfully ran for over 50 years, Williams of Audlem – the village's oldest established shop, on Shropshire Street, with his wife Megan.

Honouring a lifelong commitment

Homeowners and visitors joined our Summer Garden Party and planted a tree in the landscaped gardens to honour Derek McKelvey for his lifetime contribution to the village of Audlem.

Providing the Hand of Friendship to Local School

The McCarthy & Stone team donated a buddy bench to neighbouring Audlem St James Primary School in order to help foster friendship outside of the classroom.

Rebecca Jewitt, Head Teacher at Audlem St James Primary School, commented: “Supporting the emotional wellbeing of our children is central to our school values. By having a buddy bench in the playground, our children can be there for each other when someone needs to talk or find someone to play with.”
