The fund is open to groups and good causes based close to or serving the areas around Daresbury Garden Village, located on Delph Lane.
Chris Edwards, area sales manager for Redrow NW, said: “We want to hear from any schools, groups or charities who are looking for funding to help with any projects. “Community plays a huge part in choosing where to live and we hope this new fund will play a part in forging an ever-stronger sense of community.”
Our North West team has voluntarily gifted more than £175,000 to the neighbourhoods in which it builds since 2015. This includes a previous £10,000 fund for the Daresbury community in 2022 to coincide with the launch of the garden village. All funds are over and above the statutory investment from us linked to planning consents, such as contributions to education, healthcare, public transport and affordable housing.
Previous funding across the North West has helped schools, charities, youth groups, sports teams and individuals at the very heart of the community, providing a range of resources including play equipment, defibrillators, furniture, food parcels, counselling and more.
Daresbury Garden Village will eventually include 800 homes across 120 acres of land, with open spaces, green corridors and areas for play.
