At the heart of our business philosophy, we prioritise working with integrity, consideration and compassion. We aim to support the communities where we work through our sponsorship and charitable donation programme.
We have been corporate partners of Yellow Door since 2020. Our support has enabled Yellow Door to reach more victims of domestic and sexual abuse who desperately need help. In addition to financial support we have helped the team by providing advice on property matters including planning, construction and landscaping.
Our support helps Winchester and District Young Carers run their Exploration and Activity programmes. The exploration element supports emotional wellbeing, and the planned activities give children respite from their caring roles. Both programmes come together to allow young carers to be children first and get peer support.
The Winchester Beacon provides accommodation and practical and emotional support to people experiencing homelessness. We've supported The Winchester Beacon for the last two years; over this time our funding has helped with ongoing core costs and amongst other things has gone towards the annual laundry bill.
Our support helps Move Momentum run their programme of community dance classes. Recognising the proven benefits of dance in enhancing mental and physical well-being, Move Momentum focus on providing weekly classes tailored for individuals over 65, wheelchair users and young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. In 2022 we also sponsored Move Momentum’s Summer Showcase event which celebrated a summer of inclusive dance.
We have been sponsors of Winchester Rugby Football Club since 2015 supporting a variety of teams over the years. In July 2024 we committed to sponsoring the club for another four years and in particular the age grade teams from Under 13 to Under 16 in their development towards senior rugby.
Ouseburn Farm is a working community farm and a place where local children and families can visit for free to learn about farming and growing, meet animals and explore green spaces. Our support of Ouseburn Farm is helping the farm remain free to access for the general public.
We support the communities surrounding our property developments with donations to local charities, community groups, sports teams, schools and other educational establishments or through the sponsorship of events.
In particular, whenever we develop a new local centre or roadside scheme we collaborate with the parish council to run the Gentian Community grants programme. We offer up to £10,000 in funding to local causes in the form of grants of up to £2,000 each.

We have donated to 12 NHS Trust charities since 2020 and we are committed to supporting charities and NHS Trusts where our developments are located. We actively contact the Trust charities to offer a donation but also welcome approaches from individual Trusts. With many retail services across hospitals in the North East we support the local community there through our sponsorship of Ouseburn Farm in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

Whenever we develop a new local centre or roadside scheme we collaborate with the parish council to run our Community Grants programme.
