TIME is running out for deserving local groups in Rugby to apply for a share of £7,500 as a local housebuilder’s funding scheme comes to a close.
Housebuilder Redrow Midlands, which is currently building homes at Houlton, is offering shares of its Community Fund to support local groups, organisations and individuals.
The fund aims to support local organisations with specific donations and give them the tools they need to continue to thrive.
Since its launch in 2021, the initiative has donated £500 to the Rugby branch of the Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain to help families adjust to their new surroundings, funded gardening equipment to help pupils at Abbots Farm Junior School and Houlton School grow their own plants and vegetables, and paid for camping equipment to allow the 1st Houlton Guides to explore and learn more about nature.
Elaine Cartwright, Sales Director for Redrow Midlands, said: “As the fund comes into its final weeks, we are urging charities and community groups to apply for a chance to secure their share of the pot.
“There’s no cause too small, so whether funds are required for football kits to help sporty youngsters enjoy the beautiful game, to aid a vital new charity helping to feed struggling families, or to support a local animal shelter in need of new dog beds, Redrow Midlands’ initiative can help.
“We’re always looking for new ways to support communities to thrive in the local area and we invite groups to share their stories with us and let us know what they need to keep doing their fantastic work.”
Applications for a share of the fund will close at 11:59pm on Friday September 27.
