Environmental and wellbeing projects in the Rossett area are invited to apply for a share of £5,000.
Castle Green Homes has launched Mission Green Rossett, a voluntary scheme linked to its new homes at Trevalyn Place.
The homebuilder is offering to share £5,000 among the local community to projects with an emphasis on sustainability, the environment, health and wellbeing.
Sales director Sian Pitt explained:
“We want to be green by name and in nature and we’re on a mission to change the way people live. Along with building energy efficient new homes and providing green open spaces for people to enjoy, we want to give back to the community and support the good work already being done locally to enhance the environment and look after residents’ wellbeing. With that in mind we’ve launched Mission Green – with a chance for charities, schools, not-for-profit organisations and individuals to apply for a share of £5,000.
“If you’re part of a community garden or local in bloom group wants money towards tools, plants and seeds; want to install a weather station or bug hotel at your school; or are tidying up the neighbourhood and want litter pickers, bags and high-vis vests, we want to hear from you. We also want to support people’s health and wellbeing so could fund training for counsellors or provide sports equipment, amongst other things.”
Mission Green Rossett is a voluntary scheme. It’s in addition to the community investment Castle Green will make under agreements signed during the planning process. This includes local schools sharing circa £900,000, with the funding to be distributed via the local authority.
As part of its commitment to environment, Castle Green arranged for a comprehensive Flood Risk Assessment to be carried out on the land it’s developing in Rossett. A detailed surface water drainage design for the site, was then developed in accordance with Welsh Government standard and approved by Wrexham Council.
Under Mission Green, Castle Green wants to help a variety of projects and so will make a series of grants rather than allocating the full fund to one cause.
Applications forms are available here and should be completed online.
The closing date for applications is midnight on November 12, 2024.
