A Hambleon charity has secured a funding boost from a national housebuilder.
Brompton Recreation Group, a volunteer-run charity group that manages the Weavers Pavilion and grounds has been awarded £3,000 from Persimmon after applying to their Community Champions initiative.
Persimmon Teesside technical director Kyle Dobson presented a cheque to chair of the charity, Barbara Slater, in the presence of North Yorkshire councillor Steve Watson.
The money will go towards a renovation project at Weavers Pavilion in Brompton, creating a new community room for users of the space, including a library and café.
Barbara Slater, chairperson for Brompton Recreation Group, said: “On behalf of Brompton Recreation Group I would like to say a huge thank you for the kind donation of £3000 to kick start our funding for making alterations to our building.”
Kyle Dobson, technical director at Persimmon Teesside, added: “It was a pleasure to visit the team at Brompton Recreational Group recently to see first-hand the great work they do to make Weavers Pavilion a welcoming community hub for local people.”
Councillor Steve Watson, councillor for North Northallerton and Brompton, added: “It is great to see the ongoing support from Persimmon Homes to the local community.”
“They genuinely want to support and develop a strong bond with the community going forward, this is a prime example of their work in the area and I look forward to working with them on future projects.”
