Springboard Community Works and family-owned equipment company Kennards Hire teamed up again to beat next year’s winter chill at Springboard’s annual log-splitting day.
Springboard sells the firewood through Mitre 10 and money raised is used to fund Springboard’s vocational and social skills programmes.
This year, a crew from Kennards brought along six hydraulic log-splitters. Together with local police and the Springboard team, they split more than 60 cubic metres of wood.
Springboard general manager Dan Gray says the split day provides a lot of momentum for the season ahead.
“It’s great to see such a positive and productive vibe down in the back yard,” he says.
In addition to the log splitting, there was a team of youth running an in-house café as a part of their education programme. Burgers, fries and drinks were all on sale.
