Wellingborough foodbank given funding boost
The firm - who are overseeing the new 3,650-home development to the east of the town - has announced Daylight Centre Fellowship as its charity partner for 2019 to 2020.
The Wellingborough-based independent charity will receive an initial £1,000 donation to help boost its foodbank service, which has seen demand grow rapidly in recent years.

"Without the backing of the local community, we wouldn’t be able to carry out the work we do and benefit those in Wellingborough and the surrounding areas.
"This support means we can stock-up our foodbank service during a period when donations are typically quite low."
Paul Boatman, strategic project director at Bovis Homes, said: “We are delighted to announce Daylight Centre Fellowship as our chosen charity which provides an invaluable support system to Wellingborough and the surrounding areas.
