One-off grants of either £1,000, £5,000 or £6,000 are available to registered charities, voluntary organisations, sports clubs and local good causes in parts of England, Scotland and Wales where Persimmon Homes has a presence.
The aim of Persimmon Homes’ Community Champions programme is to leave a positive imprint on the communities it builds houses in. Grants tend to be one-off and diverse. The main condition is that projects must be based in and serving communities in which Persimmon Homes has a presence. A list of locations is available on its website. This currently includes Keynsham.
Each of Persimmon’s 30 offices across the UK makes a donation of up to £6,000 every quarter to local organisations.
Applicants that have previously unsuccessfully been awarded a grant are encouraged to reapply.
The application process is designed to be easy and straightforward. There is an online application form to complete, which can be done at any time, and applicants are advised to tell Persimmon why their group or charity deserves to be supported and how much funding they are seeking. Persimmon also asks for the location and contact information for the organisation applicants are representing so that it can direct the request to its relevant local office for consideration.
