South Oxfordshire housebuilder donates cash to charity

Redrow South Midlands, which is currently developing homes at Hampden Meadows in Watlington, made the donation to Emmaus Oxford from its community fund.

Emmaus Oxford provides people experiencing homelessness with stable housing, personalised support, and meaningful work opportunities in a community environment.

The charity helps individuals rebuild their lives, gain valuable skills, and regain confidence.

The donation from Redrow South Midlands will specifically support the charity’s Resettlement Support Project, which furnishes homes for families in need across Oxfordshire.

Laura Bristow, fundraising manager at Emmaus Oxford, said: “The wonderful grant from Redrow South Midlands will help to fund our Resettlement Support Project that is furnishing homes for families in need across Oxfordshire.

“By providing this specific support, we can help people resettle successfully, have a positive new start and begin to rebuild their lives in a lasting way.”

The housebuilder’s community fund was established to provide support to organisations, encouraging local causes to apply for a portion of a £10,000 fund.

Andrew Newman, sales director at Redrow South Midlands, said: “We are delighted to be supporting this vital charity with our latest community fund donation.

“Building thriving communities within our developments means investing in them and the surrounding areas.

“Emmaus Oxford provides life-changing support to people facing homelessness, helping them regain stability, confidence, and independence.

“We hope this donation will enable the charity to continue making a meaningful and lasting difference to those who need it most.”

The Hampden Meadows development offers a range of three, four, and five-bedroom houses in Watlington.
