CHARITIES we support ...

Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through advice, support and legal services. And campaigns to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to the charity for help. Seven Meadows has been actively supporting Shelter since 2017: we feel that while we help clients create beautiful spaces, we also have a duty to support those who don't even have a place to call home.
The Woodland Trust is the largest woodland conservation charity in the United Kingdom and is concerned with the creation, protection, and restoration of native woodland heritage. It has planted over 50 million trees since 1972.
