A popular community fund offered by leading housebuilder Miller Homes is inviting a new set of applications for the first time in 2024.
Originally launched in autumn 2022, £15,000 has already been donated so far, with a wide variety of Teesside charities, community groups and schools benefitting.
“We have really enjoyed reading the applications, although it’s tricky deciding who we donate to when there are so many amazing people in our region,” said Donna Clark, Sales Director, Miller Homes Teesside. “It has been incredibly pleasing to see how the donations have been utilised and the positive impact they have had in our communities.”
Applications are now being welcomed and will close on 24th April 2024.
Groups can apply for a donation ranging between £250 minimum up to a maximum of £2000. The donation should be to help enhance the lives of individuals and the areas in which they live.
Donna continued; “There are so many amazing groups making such a difference in communities across Teesside and, being able to help ensure this work continues is something that our whole team feel is fantastic for our region.”
Since its launch donations have helped groups and charities as varied as
Middlesborough Roller Hockey Club and a community garden in Hartlepool.
The fund will focus on causes that are linked to education, promote wellbeing, promote the environment, and encourage participation in sport.
Each of Miller Homes’ ten regional offices across the UK will have its own £10,000 fund per annum, (in two £5000 amounts) which combined will contribute £100,000 to community initiatives across the country every year.
