More Better Homes, Better Lives
Published on 1st October 09
Community projects across Wear Valley will receive more help thanks to a generous donation to the Better Homes, Better Lives fund.
The fund, which is administered by housing management company Dale & Valley Homes, provides small grants to community groups and projects across the Wear Valley area.
It was launched earlier this year to expand the ways in which the company could support its customers and the communities in which they live.
Now partner company Gentoo has added a further £5,000 to the fund, massively increasing the number of grants it can make.
Dave Cutting, Head of Technical Services at Gentoo, said: "Gentoo is very happy to support the Better Homes, Better Lives fund as we are keen to give something back in all parts of our business.
"We understand the impact volunteers and charity groups have on some of the areas in which we work, and therefore we see projects like this as a helping hand in improving the lives of our customers."
Gentoo is the contractor which provides repair and maintenance services to Dale & Valley Homes' properties.
Dave Sanders, director of resources at Dale & Valley, said: "Since we launched the Better Homes, Better Lives fund in the summer it has proved very popular and we have been able to support a huge range of projects.
"We work very closely with Gentoo and our other contractors and are delighted that they have chosen to support us in this wider aspect of our activities."
