Newark's voluntary community uplifted by festive donations
Newark's voluntary community has received a welcome boost this festive season, thanks to a collection of donations made by national housebuilder Lovell.
The donated raffle prizes worth £250 will support Your CVS Nottingham with its community festive activities, as part of its ongoing support for those that need it most, with the service helping more than 400 people each month.
The donation comes as part of Lovell’s ongoing work to support the local community in Newark, with its latest development Balderton Rise located just a stone’s throw away from the centre of Newark-on-Trent.
Your CVS’ services supported through the donation also includes its Butterfly Service, which supports individuals with end-of-life diagnosis, and with its Best Years project, which supports people aged 65+ to find friendship, companionship and joy at a time when life can feel increasingly isolating.
Lana Hoolahan-Slater, engagement and social value coordinator at Lovell said: “Our team in the East Midlands were incredibly proud to donate raffle items to support Newark CVS in making this festive period one to remember for its service users.
“At Lovell, we recognise the importance of supporting our communities and giving back where it matters. We’re pleased to have been able to support their Christmas celebrations and the wonderful work they do throughout the year.”
Tracey Stent, ageing well team leader at Your CVS said: “Every penny we raise through our fundraising goes directly back to our service users, helping to create meaningful experiences such as day trips and activities. Donations at this time of year are especially valued, and we’re incredibly grateful for Lovell’s support.”
Lovell’s Balderton Rise development consists of 309 new homes, with a mix of one, two, three and four-bedroom houses and maisonettes available – as well as five bungalows. The development also has a significant sustainability focus with all of the open market homes available set to be equipped with solar panels and electric vehicle charging stations.
