The funding will help to create an all-weather, wheelchair-accessible, garden where the children can plant flowers in raised flower beds and enjoy time outside.
Christina Kelly, Charity Grants and Liaison at Northamptonshire Health Charity said: “We are delighted to accept this generous donation from Persimmon Homes. It will help improve an existing and much-needed outdoor space for patients at the Squirrels facility.
"We know that accessing green space, fresh air, and natural environmental stimulations can have a significant and positive impact on our mental health and wellbeing, particularly for children, so we are hugely grateful for this support. Thank you!”
Claire Dearsley, Sales Director at Persimmon Homes Midlands, said: “What we do is about much more than just building homes, it’s about leaving a lasting positive legacy in the communities that we build in. We’re always delighted to lend a hand to local charities and community groups to boost their ongoing initiatives or contribute to causes that mean a lot to them.”
