Octavius and Coventry City Council Collaborate to Inspire Young Minds
Octavius, a transport solutions provider, got in touch with Community Resilience Team to provide some social value work in communities. They collaborated with Coventry City Council to donate 20 copies of the educational storybook "Sammi on Site." Co-written by Octavius' Site Manager, the book aims to ignite curiosity about the built environment and the role of engineering in shaping our world.
Sam Wraith from Octavius expressed the company's commitment to community support, stating, "We’re proud to support the Coventry Adult Education Centre Family Learning Programme to help promote strong positive relationships within families; enabling parents and carers to support their children’s learning and development."
This initiative is part of Octavius' ongoing efforts to foster educational growth and community resilience. By providing these resources, Octavius and Coventry City Council hope to inspire the next generation of engineers and builders, while also strengthening family bonds through shared learning experiences.
For more information about the Family Learning Programme and how you can get involved, please contact the Coventry Adult Education Centre.
