Leading housebuilder Linden Homes Western, creating the Ensleigh new homes development in Bath, is inviting local schools, businesses and residents to get involved in its work to help collect food for The Genesis Trust food bank during the festive period and early in the new year.
The housebuilder has pledged its support this season, to help those in need. The Genesis Trust food bank collects supplies and provides emergency food and assistance to local people who are referred to them in crisis.
For those able to donate, non-perishable food can be dropped off at Ensleigh’s sales and marketing suite between 27th and 30th December or between 2nd and 7th January, ahead of the housebuilder’s team hand-delivering the gifts to the food bank in the new year. The items most in need include:
- Long-life milk
- Coffee
- Instant noodles
- Sponge puddings
- Tins of fruit
- Tins of meat
- Chocolate
Sue Scholfield, sales and marketing director for Linden Homes Western, commented: "Here at Linden Homes, we are proud to be providing homes and communities within which families can enjoy the festive period – however, we are also committed to doing our bit to help those who are not afforded that luxury. There is often a drive to help charities during Christmas and so we wanted to offer some additional support just afterwards. We also thought people may have some spare items to donate to the food bank after Christmas and the time to do so.
"We would like to invite local schools, residents and businesses in Bath to work with us on this project and help us, to help those in need this year. The Bath community is one with real spirit and we are pleased to be tapping in to this to support such a worthy cause."
The sales and marketing suite at Ensleigh is open for food bank donations between 27th and 30th December and from 2nd to 7th January between 10am and 5pm. Visit Ensleigh, off Granville Road, Lansdown, Bath, BA1 5AB.
