Our South Midlands division, which is currently building new homes at Lucas Gardens, on Ivel Road, has presented Goldington Reading and Recreation Rooms with a donation of £500 as part of its Community Fund initiative.
The funds will be used to improve the catering facilities provided by the charity, with new crockery, utensils and cutlery being purchased for the community centre’s kitchenette. The centre is used daily by local social groups who often use it as a place to unwind or for community initiatives.
Goldington Reading and Recreation Rooms was built in 1904 by local benefactors for the benefit of local communities in Bedford. With help from local volunteers, the centre continues to be a welcoming space where local residents can meet and enjoy their time together.
Ivan Sears, Chairman of Goldington Reading and Recreation Rooms, said: “We’re incredibly grateful to Redrow South Midlands for this generous donation. This will make a huge difference to our local community, who will be able to benefit from new and improved catering facilities when they’re spending time at the centre. We look forward to welcoming local residents, new and old, to visit the centre as we cook up a storm using our new equipment!”
Andrew Newman, Head of Sales for Redrow South Midlands, said: “We are delighted to be supporting the Shefford residents at Goldington Reading and Recreation Rooms.
“The support that this community hub provides ensures that local residents and social groups are able to benefit from a well-looked after venue.
“The centre is well loved by all the Bedfordshire residents and used as a tranquil space to unwind and relax. Social activities and interacting with others offers the perfect opportunity to improve residents’ mental and physical wellbeing and we are delighted to support a cause that keeps the Bedfordshire community thriving all year round.
“We look forward to visiting the renovated kitchenette soon.”
Lucas Gardens has three and four-bedroom homes available, with prices starting from £420,950. Set in the middle of stunning Bedfordshire countryside, yet just a 40-minute train journey from nearby Arlesey to King’s Cross, Lucas Gardens is perfectly placed for commuters and growing families alike.
