Charity of year for firm

LEICESTERSHIREBASED housebuilder David Wilson Homes East Midlands has announced its charity of the year for 2018 as Alzheimer’s Society, which supports people living with dementia and their carers.

Staff who work for the developer at its head office in Bardon will commit 2018 to raising funds for the worthy cause and will do this via dress down days and other fundraising events.

John Reddington, Managing Director at David Wilson Homes East Midlands, said: “As one of the country’s leading homebuilders, we believe it is our responsibility to not only build homes, but also support charities and local causes in and around the areas we build.

“Alzheimer’s Society is a very worthy cause and we look forward to raising money for the charity over the course of the year.”

Now that the charity has been announced, they will begin to plan fundraising events throughout the year, including a Bardon to Bordeaux cycle and a 1,000 mile walk challenge.

David Wilson Homes prides itself on building exceptional homes in the finest locations and has recently been awarded the maximum five star rating in a customer satisfaction survey ran by the Home Builders Federation (HBF) for an unrivalled eighth year in a row.
