Redrow South Midlands, currently building at Tudor Meadow in Sawston, has donated £448 to the 1st Ely Scouts, who offer scouting activities and experiences for boys and girls, aged five to 14 years old in Ely.
The funds are being used to replace the group’s current tents, which are damaged and over 10 years old. The new tents will allow more youngsters who attend the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts to experience nights away from home with their friends – often for the first time.
Brian, Group Lead Volunteer, said: “It’s fantastic to receive this donation from Redrow and will have a huge impact on children in the local community who want to camp, as well as encouraging children to spend more time outdoors. We rely on kind donations such as this to continue to help subsidise children from low-income families, as we believe that all youngsters should have the chance to learn important skills that they can keep for life. We’re incredibly grateful – thank you, Redrow!”
Andrew Newman, Sales Director at Redrow South Midlands, said: “We are delighted to be supporting Ely Scouts to encourage youngsters to spend more time outdoors."
“Ely Scouts ensure that children in Cambridge have the opportunity to experience adventures, earn badges and learn survival skills, as well as build new friendships. We hope that our contribution can help make a real difference."
“As members of the Cambridgeshire community, we want to create and support thriving communities in and around the developments where we are building new homes, and supporting Ely Scouts was a wonderful opportunity to do just that.”
Cambridge is a well-connected location, with accessible transport links to London for busy commuters, and a choice of three to five-bedroom homes for those with growing families. Redrow South Midlands is currently building new homes at Tudor Meadow, on Babraham Road, Cottenham Grove, on Rampton Road, and All Saints Gardens, on Haslingfield Road.
