A housebuilder has relaunched its scheme to support deserving community initiatives across Swindon.

Redrow South West, which is currently building new homes at Badbury Park, has relaunched its £10,000 community fund this year.

They aim to fund as many local groups, organisations and individuals as possible – and are now welcoming applications.

There is no cause too small, so whether funds are needed to help children get creative at Brownies, 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 West’s initiative can help.

The initiative, which started last year, aims to help organisations with specific donations and give them the tools they need to continue to flourish.

Last year, Redrow South West donated £10,000 to winners including, Swindon Pickleball, a local group which encourages players of all ages and abilities to get into the increasingly popular sport.

Sian Smith, Sales Director at Redrow South West, said: “Our aim is to create and support thriving communities in and around our developments.

"With the success of last year's community fund, we knew we needed to re-launch again to support even more local people.

“We’d like to invite groups and charities to share their stories and tell us exactly what they need, it could be new supplies for an afterschool club or help with a local charity initiative. We want to know what would help your community to thrive!

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

The fund will open on Monday 22 July and will close at midnight on Monday 30 September.

Redrow South West currently has 13 developments across the region. In Swindon, Redrow is building new homes at Badbury Park.
