We are launching a campaign to celebrate our ruby anniversary that will provide either funding, people or materials to dramatically restore or improve run-down community spaces.
To mark the milestone of reaching four decades in business, and give back to the communities in which we operate, we are launching RUBY (Regenerating Urban Back Yards).
How does it work?
You are encouraged to nominate an outdoor space in severe need of improvement. A judging panel comprising your divisional Managing Director will vote for the most deserving cause through our social media channels.
The winning projects could include a memorial statue or park bench, a piece of outdoor art or sculpture, the upgrade of a children’s play park or the creation of a new green space or outdoor place for elderly people to enjoy, the renovation of a local pocket park or even repairs to the green space of a local school.
Giving something back
For forty years we have been building homes for people in a variety of communities. We have benefited from the communities in which we work and, as part of marking this significant milestone, we want to give something back to those communities.
A home is about much more than the house itself; it’s about a safe and attractive place to live and enjoy with a mix of amenities. Communal outdoor places are important for everyone from children to the elderly, but in some areas there is a lack of pleasant outdoor spaces, or eyesores which need a bit of love and attention. Our campaign aims to lavish a bit of love on these spaces. Whether it’s providing landscape gardeners to design and plant colourful flower beds, or tradespeople to re-build a wall and carry out repairs, or providing materials for a children’s activity park, we will consider all types of projects which will benefit as many people as possible.
Get involved
We will not be able to help every individual or group, and will give priority to communities in which we have developments, but we have allocated significant resources to this campaign and will endeavour to support projects which have the greatest impact on their community.
