“A functioning kitchen is key to helping our young people to learn skills and try new activities. We regularly hold events for the wider community of Fulwood and this builds a great sense of community for the people living in the surrounding areas. Thank you to Redrow for this donation.”

Redrow’s voluntary gifts are over and above the statutory investment linked to the Tabley Green development, which includes contributions to community infrastructure of more than £2 million.

Steve Jackson, sales director at Redrow Lancashire, said: “We are so pleased to have been able to support the scout group with this project and it’s great to see the new kitchen has already been put to good use.”
