Redrow South Midlands, a prominent housebuilder operating in Cambridgeshire, has successfully raised £24,000 to support the vital work of Helen and Douglas House, a children's hospice. This significant total was achieved during the company's annual charity gala, which brought together subcontractors, suppliers, and consultants in a united effort to contribute to the cause.
Supporting Terminally Ill Children and Families
