We were delighted to support a Warm Spaces Project at St Giles Parish Church in Killamarsh earlier this year through our Neighbourhood Improvement Budget (NIB).
The support offered did not end with funding though. Our Community Involvement Team offered to provide a diverse range of sessions for the participants, including Kurling and budget-friendly cooking.
During one of the sessions, the Reverend approached Jason Sadler (Community Involvement Officer at Rykneld Homes) to assist with the much-needed renovation of the kitchen at St Matthew's Parish Church in Renishaw.
Collaborating internally with our Capital Works Team, we commissioned A-Rock Construction to design and price a kitchen renovation plan.
The proposal was submitted to the Travis Perkins Community Legacy Fund and was subsequently approved.
The Travis Perkins Community Legacy Fund sees 1% of our total expenditure with Travis Perkins allocated to this fund, enabling Rykneld Homes to select community projects to receive funding and support.
This is the largest project undertaken to date using the Travis Perkins Community Legacy Fund and we hope to support many more projects in the future.
