A HOSPICE, a horse-riding charity for the disabled, and a community football club are the latest to benefit from a housebuilder’s donations.
Redrow Midlands, which is building at Houlton in Rugby, has donated a total of £2,400 to The Myton Hospices, Onley Grounds Riding for the Disabled Association and Lutterworth Athletic Football Club as part of its community fund.
The Myton Hospices will use £800 to fund its entire patient and carer wellbeing service for a day.
The charity’s CEO Ruth Freeman said: “We are thrilled to have been awarded a share of Redrow Midland’s 2025 community fund and are incredibly grateful for this support.
“Our wellbeing approach focuses on what matters most to each individual – helping to manage symptoms, support emotional and psychological needs, and enable patients to maintain independence, while being fully involved in decisions about their care.
“Perhaps most importantly, we enable our patients to live well for longer and give them more quality time with their loved ones.
“Donations like this provide vital support for our wellbeing services, helping to ensure more people can access the care they need, and enabling patients, as well as their carers and families, to experience comfort, dignity and support at every stage of their illness.”
Onley Grounds RDA, which offers therapeutic riding and carriage driving for children and adults with disabilities, will use a £600 donation to help cover the costs of hiring horses, ponies and arenas for additional sessions.
And a £1,000 donation to Lutterworth Athletic FC will contribute towards communal equipment, allowing coaches to deliver more effective training sessions and help children achieve their goals.
The housebuilder’s community fund was set up to help organisations to thrive, with local causes encouraged to apply for their share of a £7,500 pot.
Elaine Cartwright, Sales Director at Redrow Midlands, said: “From helping children discover new sports and build confidence to supporting vital wellbeing services and inclusive activities, these charities play an essential role in enriching lives.
“We hope our contributions enable them to continue their fantastic work for the community.”
