A housebuilder has launched a scheme to support deserving community initiatives across Huntingdon with funding of upto £10,000 up for grabs.

Redrow South Midlands, which is currently building several developments across the region, started the initiative back in 2019 with an aim to help as many local groups, organisations and individuals as possible.

Whether it’s funding for art supplies to help local Brownies get creative, a search and rescue team in need of new lifejackets, or a local children’s group wishing to go on their first ever camp out, Redrow South Midland’s initiative can help.

Since the scheme was launched, the housebuilder has donated £40,000 to local causes.

Andrew Newman, head of sales for Redrow South Midlands, said: “Redrow is known for supporting communities to thrive, both the new ones we create on our developments and the existing ones that become our new neighbours.

"With the success of previous community funds, we knew we had to re-launch it this year to help even more people in our community.

“This year, we are doing things slightly differently – we would like groups to tell us exactly what they need, such as new tents for a local scout group or support for a charity event.

"This way we will be able to give groups and charities the items they really need to continue their great work.

“We’d like to invite volunteers at local charities or community groups to share their story with us, and tell us what they need so they can continue to do the thing they do best – supporting their community.

“We’re looking forward to hearing how we can help people across Huntingdon and the surrounding areas.”
