Elderly residents supported by monthly donations during virus outbreak
Persimmon Homes Maidenhead has announced plans to donate to community groups which help the over-70s for the foreseeable future.
The Community Champions scheme, launched by Persimmon Homes in Maidenhead, aims to help local groups, charities and good-causes across Berkshire, Greater London, Middlesex and Oxfordshire, with two monthly donations of up to £1,000.
Many elderly residents are at high-risk, due to the outbreak of COVID-19, and as a result, the donations will be made to groups that directly support over-70s in the community.
Since its launch in 2015, the Community Champions scheme has donated more than £3million to around 3,500 community groups.
Karl Endersby, director-in-charge of Persimmon Homes North London, said: “We have always believed in supporting the communities where we build, especially grassroot activities, and we hope people understand our desire now to specifically support the over-70s at this time.”
