Onduline Supports Spitalfields City Farm to Upgrade Animal Housing

Spitalfields City Farm, located in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, offers a sanctuary for both animals and people, providing educational opportunities and empowering people of all ages to gain new skills, confidence and combat social isolation. 

The two-acre site is home to a wide variety of animals, including goats, donkeys, pigs, and chickens, with animal care and welfare at the heart of the organisation.

As an organisation, we understand the significant impact of roofing solutions on the overall well-being of animals kept outside, and donated our lightweight roofing products, as well as their time, to revamp two outbuildings housing farm animals.

Our corrugated roofing sheets are perfect for animal housing and farm buildings, for their noise-reducing properties, as they are designed to be four times quieter than metal options, especially in adverse weather conditions like rain or storms, to maintain a peaceful environment. The sheets are also weather-resistant, which prevents leaks and maintains a dry environment for animals even during heavy rain.

Nisha Kumar, Head of Marketing of Onduline UK, said: “We believe in giving back to local communities, and Spitalfields City Farm is a remarkable organisation that embodies this spirit. Their dedication to both the animals in their care and the vibrant local community is truly inspiring.

“We were delighted to offer our support and spend a day with their incredible team, learning more about their mission while renovating several of the farm’s outbuildings. It was a rewarding experience to contribute to the farm’s efforts, and we eagerly anticipate seeing the animals enjoy their new shelters in the coming months.”

Our support in installing its roofing systems on the farm reflects our commitment to impacting change in local communities.

Jenny Bettenson, Farmyard Manager at Spitalfields City Farm, concluded: “We’re so pleased with Onduline’s support as we renovate our facilities. We value ongoing support from businesses and volunteer groups so we can continue to serve the local community. Onduline’s roofing sheets stood out as a durable and well-designed solution that will contribute to the wellbeing of the animals on our farm. Additionally, we loved the selection of colours available for the ONDULINE CLASSIC sheets and are delighted with our final choice of brown, which beautifully complements our farm.”
