Kent housebuilder Redrow South East has made four donations, totalling over £2,000, to support the incredible community work and events happening across the local area.
The donations form part of Redrow South East’s £8,000 Community Fund, which launched earlier this year to provide organisations, schools and groups at the heart of the community with donations to help them thrive.
The Cliffe Woods Village Association was the first beneficiary of the grant, receiving a £400 donation toward its village fete. Located near Redrow’s Oakleigh Fields development, the annual fete is held to raise funds for the much-needed extension and refurbishment of the local community centre and social club.
The PTA at Ebbsfleet Green Primary School also received £400 toward its school fete, covering over half of the fete’s running costs. The fete, which was held on 29 June and featured a range of stalls, games, local vendors and a food market, saw over 500 attendees.
Monies raised will go toward providing audio-visual equipment for the school hall, including staging and lighting, plus contribute toward the school’s new edible garden.
Ebbsfleet Primary School is located less than half a mile from Redrow South East’s regional head office, and close to Redrow’s Stonehaven Park and Plaza Central developments at Ebbsfleet Garden City.
Redrow also donated just over £1,000 to Martha Trust in Kent for its sold-out Music on the Farmevent, which fundraises to provide residential and respite care for people with physical and learning disabilities.
Finally, Redrow South East sponsored Kent County Show’s Native Cattle Ring, with the team from Redrow attending the show to get to know local residents and competitors.
Held in Detling, near Redrow’s Maidstone developments, Monchelsea Park and The Mill, the show helps to support local farming practices and boost education about the countryside.
Stuart Galloway, sales director at Redrow South East, said: “It’s been an exciting month kicking off donations as part of our 2024 Community Fund and supporting a range of summer fetes and events across the beautiful Kent countryside.
“At Redrow, we’re committed to creating thriving communities both within our developments and the wider area, and community groups like these are part of what make places like Maidstone, Ebbsfleet and Cliffe Woods such great places to live in, so we are delighted to be able to support.”
