Scouts thank housebuilder for donation of hundreds of pounds
A village Scouts group has thanked a housebuilder for donating hundreds of pounds to it for new chairs and tables.
The 25th Leicester (Queniborough) Scout Group has taken delivery of the new furniture, which will be used during weekly meetings, badge work, craft activities and community events at the group’s village headquarters.
Davidsons Homes, which is building new homes in Queniborough at Willow Grove, handed over £640 to help the group because their Scout Hut is located nearby.
Phil Iley, chair of trustees for the Scout group, said: “We are incredibly grateful to Davidsons for this generous donation.
"Our hut is at the heart of everything we do, and having sturdy new chairs and tables makes a real difference to our sessions.
“They will be used constantly, whether the Scouts are working towards badges, getting creative or planning their next adventure.
"Support like this allows us to focus our funds on delivering opportunities and experiences that really benefit young people in our community.”
The donation ensures the group’s growing number of young members have safe, practical and durable seating for years to come, supporting everything from learning essential life skills to planning outdoor adventures.
Stephanie King, sales director at Davidsons Homes East, said: “Scouting plays such an important role in helping young people build confidence, resilience and friendships that can last a lifetime.
“At Davidsons, we are passionate about creating communities that thrive, not just building homes.”
