We’ve sponsored Okehampton Roundtable’s drive-by Christmas Sleigh for the second year running.
The annual and much-loved Christmas Sleigh drive-by will take place throughout December, 7pm-7:30pm weekdays and 4pm-7:30pm at weekends, in Okehampton and the local area.
The Okehampton Roundtable has supported the Okehampton community throughout the pandemic. Throughout the summer Roundtable members were out visiting Sticklepath, North Tawton, Hatherleigh and Okehampton to collect food donations for Okehampton Foodbank.
In July, the Roundtable hosted a drive-in movie event, in-line with Covid-19 safety measures, to help raise funds and lift the community spirit. In recognition of the Roundtable’s hard work it has received praise from Paul Jarret at Okehampton Foodbank, Okehampton Mayor Julie Yellend and the region’s local MP thanking the roundtable for the efforts and support during a tough time.
Our sponsorship comes at a time when the Roundtable was preparing for a tough December because of new Covid-19 restrictions and collection opportunities minimised. The sponsorship money will go to towards the Christmas Sleigh event and enable the Roundtable members to carry on its good work in the local community throughout December.
James Mallen, chairman at the Okehampton Roundtable said: “The Christmas Sleigh is a big part of Okehampton’s festive celebrations, it is fantastic that Redrow got involved and supported our collection this year. The Okehampton Roundtable has been putting on events that adhere to social distancing rules throughout the pandemic to lift the spirits of the local community, we cannot wait to continue this in December with our Christmas Sleigh.”
Kevin Bradford, area sales manager in our South West division commented: “There was no hesitation to sponsor the Okehampton Roundtable’s Christmas Sleigh initiative for the second year in a row. We are committed to supporting local communities, events and groups close to our developments.
“The amazing work and fundraising activities that the Roundtable has done during the pandemic is fantastic. We are honoured to be a contributing factor to their efforts as we progress into 2021.”
The Romansfield development has a range of charming two, three and four–bedroom homes all from our Heritage Collection which takes inspiration from the Arts and Crafts movement in the 1930’s.
Located just a mile from the town centre with easy access to a range of local amenities, and within easy reach of the beautiful Dartmoor National park, the development offers a perfect combination of country living and town amenities.
In-line with specific Government guidance for the housing industry, our sales centres in England are remaining open for visits throughout the second national lockdown. The Government has also confirmed that people are still able to move during this period.
