CHARITIES and community groups in Wiltshire could benefit from thousands of pounds of funding as David Wilson Homes launches a new community fund.

The David Wilson Homes Community Fund will donate £1,000 each month to a charity or organisation which improves the quality of life for those living in the region. The new initiative is part of the company’s pledge to strengthen its ties with the areas in which it is building new homes.

Ian Menham, managing director of David Wilson Homes in the South West, said “As part of the country’s largest housebuilder we are committed to creating a positive legacy. We want to lead the industry not just in the quality of the homes and developments we build but also in our work with charities and good causes throughout the UK.”

Organisations can now apply for one of the monthly grants by emailing charitysw@dwh.co.uk with details of your charity or organisation and how the donation would benefit the local community and improve lives.
