Persimmon Homes

At Persimmon, we are committed to leaving a lasting legacy in areas where we create new communities. 🏘️   As well as building good quality homes and creating well-paid, high-skilled jobs, our Community Champions scheme makes a real difference to people's lives. We do this by supporting local charities, sports clubs and good causes across the country.    We have 30 offices across the UK that each donate up to £6,000 every quarter to local organisations that are the lifeblood of our communities. Smaller donations are also available.   The application is straightforward and simple – making a submission to our Community Champions scheme takes less than five minutes.🕐   Find out more here:  https://lnkd.in/evMbfUt2 #PersimmonHomes #Charity

Central team helps Bedworth pupils dig further into local history 🦺 A primary school in #Bedworth has been given an insight into local history, thanks to an archaeological dig hosted by our Central team.   Pupils at The Canons CE Primary School were invited by the developer to attend the dig, located at Hospital Lane, where Persimmon Homes has submitted plans to develop up to 455 new homes in the town.   As part of the event, pupils were given a talk from the team around the wider history of the site, as well as the Medieval and Roman artefacts that have already been found on the site and what the archaeologists are still expecting to find as part of the on-site works. The pupils were then shown a range of artefacts and resources that they could handle. #PersimmonHomes
