Hemsec are committed to reshaping the built environment for a better tomorrow, and that does not stop at Christmas!
We’re proud to continue our ongoing relationship with the great people over at AppleCast, where we have provided our high-performance SIP panels, at a discounted price, for them to build their yearly Santa’s Grotto.
AppleCast offers a safe environment for young people to achieve through the sport of angling and other vocational skill building activities.
Many of the young people they support face a number of complex barriers that prevent them from achieving in education or training and are in danger of becoming long-term unemployed and socially and economically excluded.
The now developed horticulture, conservation, fish breeding, aquaponics, agriculture and bespoke woodwork shops complement the existing fishery management qualifications and angling tuition. All the education stems from the angling aspect of the program and allows young people to explore options on their desired learning direction. All literacy and numeracy is embedded into the portfolio work completed and complements the practical side of the project
This enables young people to complete tasks to develop work-based learning skills along with a good work ethic. In addition to various qualifications and accredited certificates, the young people also have the opportunity to learn key life skills including confidence, respect, patience and perseverance.
This year AppleCast are running a festive experience for primary schools, part of which will include a Santa’s grotto. Hemsec was asked if we could support the build, and like last year, of course we wanted to get involved! Children who visit will have the opportunity to; visit Santa & get a gift from his elves, take part in Christmas arts & crafts workshops, meet the animals including Santa’s reindeer and get involved in fun Christmas themed games throughout the day.
Supporting our local community and charities close to our hearts is incredibly important to us here at Hemsec. We are a company that cares and acknowledges our responsibility to help reshape and support our community where we can.

About Hemsec
Hemsec is a leading UK based timber & steel insulated panel manufacturer. Established in 1928, we are one of the largest specialist insulated panel manufacturers in the UK.
Hemsec is committed to reshaping the built environment, together, for a better tomorrow.
Hemsec works closely with companies across the supply chain, providing high-quality timber and metal-faced insulated panels to construct energy-efficient industrial, commercial, leisure, and residential buildings. Our priority is to take responsibility for the environment today and safeguard it for future generations.
Hemsec SIPs are extensively tested for Structural, Acoustic, and Thermal performance, including Fire Resistance, and are BBA-certified to give our customers confidence in our superior quality standards. By combining structural and insulating properties, Hemsec SIPs can be used alongside a wide range of construction materials as load or non-load-bearing structures. This improves energy performance and reduces wall thicknesses, which helps to maximise internal space and minimise energy bills.
