Anwyl to support Chester groups with funds and volunteers

The developer is reaching out to communities near its Deva Green development to offer a total of £5000 via its 'Love From Anwyl' funding pot.

The maximum amount that will be paid out to any one project is £2,000, but Anwyl say they may choose to make a greater number of smaller contributions to different organisations rather than a single large sum. There’s also the chance to apply for practical support, in the shape of volunteer time.

Sales director for Anwyl Homes Graeme Gibb explained: "Anwyl is a thoughtful homebuilder and we recognise that we have a part to play in shaping the future of the communities we’re building in.

"As our way of giving back, we’re gifting £5,000 to the people of Chester through the Love from Anwyl initiative.

"We want to share the love as widely as possible by lending our support to as many projects as practical."

Anwyl have also given funding to groups close to their other developments, such as The Port Men in Sheds.

The company have recently funded community projects around other builds such as The Oaks at Rossbank, which saw nearby Ellesmere Port charity The Port Men in Sheds benefit.

"We’re also keen to be involved in the community on a practical level and are open to suggestions of how we could volunteer our time. We have a range of different professional skills and some hidden talents that could be put to good use to help locally.

"We’re not afraid of getting our hands dirty, so may be able to help with gardening, painting or minor remedial works. We can offer talks to schools and youth groups, virtually or in person."

Love From Anwyl is a voluntary scheme attached to the 142 homes Anwyl is building at Deva Green, off Clifton Drive, which will eventually feature a mix of two, three and four-bedroom designs.

The deadline for submissions is midnight, June 20, 2022.
