Persimmon Homes East Midlands Announces Major Donation to Little Miracles
Persimmon Homes East Midlands has proudly revealed a significant donation of £18,200 to its Charity of the Year, Little Miracles. This generous contribution follows a recent visit from deputy managing director Michelle Jeffrey, who engaged with the charity to understand its impactful work.
Supporting Children with Additional Needs
Little Miracles is a dedicated charity that provides essential support to children with additional needs, disabilities, and life-limiting conditions. Over the past year, Persimmon Homes has focused its fundraising efforts on this organisation, with employees across the region participating in various activities to raise vital funds.
This latest donation builds on a previous contribution of £1,300 from the team's annual Christmas raffle in 2024, showcasing the company's ongoing commitment.
Engaging with the Community
During her visit, Michelle Jeffrey joined the charity for a 'cooking evening', where children and parents enjoy meals in a sociable setting. She also met with several families, gaining deeper insights into the profound impact Little Miracles has on the local community.
Michelle Jeffrey commented: "Supporting Little Miracles over the past year has been incredibly rewarding for our team. Seeing the difference this charity makes to children and their families is truly inspiring. We are delighted to present this donation and hope it will help them continue their vital work."
Making a Practical Difference
The £18,200 raised will directly support the charity's programmes, which offer:
- Practical and emotional support for families
- Opportunities for children and families to connect
- Resources to help individuals thrive despite challenges
Louise Evans, head of income generation for Little Miracles, added: "We are extremely grateful to Persimmon Homes East Midlands for their incredible support over the last year. This donation will make a real, practical difference to the families we work with, helping us to continue delivering essential services, activities, and day-to-day support to families who often have nowhere else to turn."
She emphasised that such funding allows the charity to be there for families of children with disabilities and life-limiting conditions when they need it most, highlighting that without this support, they would not be able to assist as many people.
Commitment to Positive Change
As a five-star housebuilder, Persimmon Homes remains steadfast in its commitment to supporting local communities. The company takes pride in partnering with organisations like Little Miracles that create lasting, positive change, reinforcing its role as a responsible corporate citizen dedicated to making a meaningful impact.
