Our developments are integral parts of the broader community, bringing new people into the area and helping to build on and enhance local connections.
We’re proud to support schools, charities and institutions surrounding our developments to grow and flourish, providing financial and business aid to help them continue their great work.
We support a range of charities that are important to our residents, our staff and our partners.
The charities and causes we support are not only local to our developments, but mean something to our residents.
We frequently invite residents to help us choose where to donate, through polls and nominations, so we can be sure our support goes to places that will have the most impact to our existing and growing communities.
The £4,000 kindly donated by Simple Life will go such a long way. It currently costs around £3,000 to keep our doors open for one day, for up to five children. Every single penny raised by Simple Life will go towards helping us provide these wide range of specialist services to all our beautiful children for another day. From everyone at Zoe's Place Baby Hospice, Middlesbrough. We would like to say a huge thank you for such an amazing gesture.
At Simple Life, we are well aware of the impact human activity has on the environment, and are always looking at our practices and processes to improve our green credentials and commit to a cleaner future.
