NPT Homes’ Community Challenge to Help Transform Local Projects
For the fifth year running, NPT Homes is on the hunt for community projects in need of a transformation.
The Community Challenge is a joint partnership programme between the housing provider and its main contractors which allows different community projects to benefit from a day of free building or maintenance work.
Last year, the challenge saw a record eight community projects benefit, including schools, churches and community halls. The makeovers included the installation of new kitchens, seating areas and even a specially adapted play area for children.
Last year, Sandfields Methodist Church was one of the beneficiaries of the programme. Peter Davies from the church said:
“We benefited greatly from being involved in last year’s community challenge. Our facility is a busy hub in the community and the work has allowed us to continue to host local groups. I would urge anyone with a community facility that needs some work to apply for 2017, it could make a huge difference to them.”
NPT Homes’ Funding Officer, Andrew Hall, added:
"After the great success of our previous Community Challenge projects we are happy to bring the project back for 2017. I would encourage any local group in need of a makeover to get their applications in as the project really can help.”
