[T]he Cumbria and south Scotland region of award-winning housebuilder, Story Homes, has committed to supporting four charities and community groups which applied for funding in its ‘Future Story’ scheme.
This is a company-wide programme designed to support sponsorship or donation requests from charities and community organisations that surround Story Homes’ developments in Cumbria, south Scotland, the North East and the North West.
The housebuilder accepts applications via its website all year round, with a regional committee reviewing submissions on a quarterly basis.
Appleby under 10s Football Club, Brampton Parish Council, Cockermouth Round Table and Young Enterprise Cumbria have all been selected to receive a financial contribution.
Projects that Story Homes will support this time include the sponsorship of an event which helps young people across Cumbria to find out what it is really like to set up and run a business, providing presents for Santa’s sleigh in Cockermouth and helping a group of young locals by purchasing them a new training kit.
Ian Storey, Managing Director for Story Homes in the Cumbria and south Scotland, commented: “The homes we build are part of wider communities, so helping charities and groups that neighbour our developments is extremely important to us. We try to support in ways that add long term value, and we are proud of our track record in this regard and our role in building sustainable communities.
“We are pleased to be able to help support these deserving organisations and look forward to seeing how their projects progress, and to supporting even more charities and community groups around the region during the remainder of the year.”
Story Homes is now inviting charities and community groups to apply for support for the third time this year. Applications for sponsorship, donations or raffle prizes should be made by completing the form at storyhomes.co.uk/sustainable-story.
