Premium housebuilder Redrow South East has launched its first official community fund to help continue its support of the incredible community work led by groups, schools, organisations and individuals across Kent.
With no cause too small, Redrow South East has a pot of up to £8,000 to be gifted throughout 2024, which it hopes to spread across the region to help as many local projects as possible.
Whether funds are needed to help supply new books for school children, a new kit for a sports team, or even craft supplies for a youth group, the Redrow South East initiative can help and is now open to entries from everyone.
The housebuilder, which is currently building at popular locations throughout Kent, from vibrant towns to rural villages, has launched the fund for the very first time.
Prior to the fund launching, Redrow South East has donated toward a range of local causes – most recently providing kit for Ashford Rugby Football Club, plus supporting community Christmas events, hampers for raffles and days out for children.
This is in addition to providing investment in the local area and contributions toward education, healthcare, public transport and affordable housing linked to the planning process.
The initiative aims to help local organisations or individuals at the heart of the community to have the equipment and tools they need to continue the amazing work they are doing or even start a new, exciting project.
Ben Fewsdale, managing director at Redrow South East, said: “We are really excited to have launched our first community fund, which forms part of our commitment to supporting local infrastructure and creating thriving communities both within our developments and in the wider area.
“Community plays a huge role in choosing where to live and we are continuously looking at ways we can support the local area.
“We are inviting entries from any group, organisation or individual in the surrounding area of one of our developments to let us know how we could help their exciting plans – and look forward to making as many come true as possible!”
The community fund is open for applications and will close at midnight on 15 April 2024. To find out more about the voluntary £8,000 community fund, and how to apply, click here.
