Belvoir managing director Bobby Singh Braich said: “Every day in our business we see first-hand how important home is to people and how greatly they value it.
“It is our absolute privilege to help so many people in Corby to find their dream homes. However, it is heartbreaking to know there are people out there who don’t have somewhere to call home - something that most of us take for granted.
“This is why we are pleased to be able to support the fantastic work done by Corby Homeless Project to mark Agents Giving Day.”
