Welland Homes, a housing company wholly owned by South Holland District Council, has made a £100,373 donation to three local charities after another successful year, helping to support in-need residents and good causes across the district.

 

The company, incorporated in 2015, was established to increase the housing supply in the area to meet demand, set high standards for housing design and improve the quality of rental accommodation available to residents.

 

Ten years on, Welland Homes now has 57 high-quality open market properties in its ownership, and the company is making donations from its profit margin to three local charities: Citizens Advice South Lincolnshire, Active Lincolnshire and South Holland in Bloom.

 

Citizens Advice South Lincolnshire will receive £91,173, which will be used in their continued work to provide free, independent, confidential and impartial advice on rights and responsibilities, giving support on a range of matters including consumer matters, money advice, welfare support, employment, housing and family and personal matters.

 

Active Lincolnshire will benefit from £6,000 of support, for their work to provide opportunities for everyone in Lincolnshire to be active every day. This includes working with partners to address inequalities and inactivity and responding to the specific needs of people and places.

 

Finally South Holland in Bloom will receive £3,200 to aid them to provide assistance and support in connection with the Britain in Bloom competition to various village across the district. 

 

A Welland Homes spokesperson said: “We’re delighted that Welland Homes has had another successful year, and that we are again able to support these great local causes that help improve our district and the vital support available for residents.

 

“Welland Homes continues to grow and develop, as it has done over the last decade, which is testament to the hard work of everyone involved with the company as it has rightly established itself as a landlord of choice, providing high-quality and desirable homes right here in South Holland.”
