Jewson launches first-ever sustainability house
As part of Jewon’s environment sustainability strategy, it has opened a sustainability house at its Luton branch which showcases its full Building for the Future range including materials for Homes for Nature hedgehog shelters.
The UK building merchants opened its new, first-ever sustainability house on 5 September which also offers a learning space and information on the latest regulations and environmental standards.
As part of Jewson’s sustainability strategy, the Homes for Nature campaign encourages local schools, community groups and tradespeople to build hedgehog shelters as they get ready for this winter’s hibernation.
Collectable from any UK branch, Jewson is donating free materials such as recycled wooden pallets. The merchant, a member of the STARK Building Materials UK Ltd, is also offering advice on how to create biodiverse habitats to help wildlife in the colder months, and throughout the year.
Sabrina Passley, head of sustainability at STARK UK comments:
“The Homes for Nature initiative reflects our commitment to sustainability and empowers communities to take simple, impactful steps toward a nature-positive future.”

Dylan Allman, hedgehog champion and founder of Hedgehog Aware says that “it’s great to see a company engaging small, local wildlife charities and young people – this can be such a powerful force for change”. Allman was recognised with an award by former prime minister, Rishi Sunak, for his work in raising awareness for hedgehog conservation in 2024.
