Hampshire Housebuilder Supports Older People Through Donation

Hampshire Housebuilder Redrow Supports Older People in Basingstoke with Community Fund Donation

On 4 July, Hampshire housebuilder Redrow Southern Counties presented Basingstoke NeighbourCare with a £450 donation towards our work supporting independence in older people across Basingstoke and Tadley.

The donation from Redrow's Southern Counties division will go towards the costs of delivering our services, making sure older residents can get out and about and have opportunities to socialise. Our volunteer drivers take clients to essential medical appointments, shopping trips, and social activities, and we always need more. If you could spare a few hours a week as a volunteer car driver, call our team on 01256 423855.

Geoff Belsham, Chair of Basingstoke NeighbourCare, said: "It is vital that we provide support through our team to help older people continue to live life to the fullest. People who use our services are able to live independently for longer in their own homes, while also interacting with our volunteers, who provide companionship and practical help to those who live on their own.

"On behalf of everyone at Basingstoke NeighbourCare, I would like to thank Redrow Southern Counties for their generous donation."

The donation is part of Redrow Southern Counties' Community Fund, launched this year to provide organisations, schools, and groups at the heart of the community with donations to help them thrive. The housebuilder has also invested in the communities surrounding its developments through contributions towards education, healthcare, public transport, and affordable housing.

Mark Vanson, Sales Director at Redrow Southern Counties, said: "We're committed to creating thriving communities both within our developments and the wider area, and are delighted to be able to support Basingstoke NeighbourCare."

Redrow's Southern Counties division is headquartered in Basingstoke.
