The Pavers Foundation, the charitable arm of Pavers, donated the money to Nai's House. The donation was made on behalf of Annette Bosher, a member of staff at Pavers' Bicester store who applied through the company's employee-led charitable giving scheme. Nai's House was founded by Gem Barrett in memory of her daughter, Dené, who took her own life in 2017 after struggling with her mental health.
The charity supports people aged five to 30 and aims to reduce suicide rates by investing in prevention and supporting emotional and mental wellbeing. Shirin, a mentor and support team member from Nai's House, said: "This money will pay for 40 support sessions, helping anyone in crisis. "These meetings are to give our guests a voice to be heard and share any struggles they are facing.
" Nai's House also provides suicide prevention training to the wider community. Ms Bosher, who knew Dené through her niece, said: "I was inspired to help Nai's House as my niece and Dené were really good friends when they were at school. "Their work is so important to our community in helping young people deal with their mental health difficulties they are making a real difference.
" The Pavers Foundation has donated more than £2.2 million to various causes..
