Persimmon Homes

At Persimmon, we are committed to leaving a lasting legacy in areas where we create new communities. 🏘️   As well as building good quality homes and creating well-paid, high-skilled jobs, our Community Champions scheme makes a real difference to people's lives. We do this by supporting local charities, sports clubs and good causes across the country.    We have 30 offices across the UK that each donate up to £6,000 every quarter to local organisations that are the lifeblood of our communities. Smaller donations are also available.   The application is straightforward and simple – making a submission to our Community Champions scheme takes less than five minutes.🕐   Find out more here:  https://lnkd.in/evMbfUt2 #PersimmonHomes #Charity

North Scotland raise £60,000 for CHAS 💚 Our North Scotland team has raised an incredible £60,000 for Children's Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS) through a year of dedicated fundraising efforts! From a golf day and charity walks to a sky dive and a black-tie ball, our #Perth-based colleagues have shown their unwavering commitment to supporting CHAS as their Charity of the Year for the second year running. These funds will support CHAS’s vital work, which costs £50,000 per day to deliver. At Rachel House Children’s Hospice in #Kinross, they provide palliative care, respite, and end-of-life support, helping families across Scotland create cherished memories together. James MacKay, Managing Director, and Rebecca Kyle, Office Manager, recently visited Rachel House to present the cheque to Ruathy Donald, CHAS Community Fundraiser. #PersimmonHomes

🎄 Early Christmas cheer for California Primary School! 🎁 #California Primary School Parent Council in #Falkirk has received a £1,000 donation from Persimmon East Scotland, providing a vital boost to support upgrades to the school’s outdoor play equipment. As a registered charity, the Parent Council is dedicated to enhancing the learning environment for children. However, the ongoing cost-of-living crisis has made fundraising more challenging. This donation will help them continue their mission to create a better and more engaging space for pupils. This contribution is part of our Community Champions initiative, which has supported over £360,000 worth of donations to charities and organisations across Scotland in the past five years. We’re proud to help make a difference in the lives of local children and wish the school continued success in its efforts to support the community. 💙 #PersimmonHomes

West Midlands team hosts successful collection for Telford Crisis Support 🤝 A #Telford-based foodbank has received a boost, thanks to a collection drive held by the team at West Midlands.   Members of the team volunteered their time to collecting a range of foods to be donated to the foodbank, which helps to end food poverty in and around the Shropshire town. In total, £285 worth of products were donated.   Founded in 2013, Telford Crisis Support has been a volunteer-led organisation utilising a range of experience and expertise from its board of trustees and operational volunteers to aid those within the community who need it most. #PersimmonHomes

Central helps Kenilworth get into the Christmas spirit 🎄 Our Central team is helping a #Warwickshire town get into the festive spirit, thanks to the sponsorship of two Christmas trees in the town’s most popular areas.   The trees – provided by Warwick District Council – will be on display until early January and will give the team the opportunity to raise its profile further in the area, where it is developing its Thickthorn Gardens and Kenilworth Gate communities. #PersimmonHomes
