Environmental and wellbeing projects in Daresbury are being offered a share of £5,000.

The money is being provided by Castle Green Homes as part of a voluntary scheme called Mission Green Daresbury.

The scheme is linked to the homebuilder's new development at Bridgewater View, which is part of the larger Daresbury Garden Village.

The company is looking to support projects that focus on sustainability, the environment, and the health and wellbeing of the community.

Sales director Sian Pitt said: "We want to be green by name and in nature and we’re on a mission to change the way people live.

"Along with building energy efficient new homes and providing green open spaces for people to enjoy, we want to give back to the community and support the good work already being done locally to enhance the environment and look after residents’ wellbeing."

The fund is open to charities, schools, not-for-profit organisations, and individuals.

Castle Green Homes is looking to support a variety of projects and plans to make several grants rather than allocating the full fund to one cause.

This is in addition to the £1.6m community investment the company will make under a Section 106 agreement signed during the planning process.

That funding includes more than £1m for off-site public open space, £500,000 for improvements to public rights of way, and £60,000 towards sustainable transport.

Application forms are available on the Castle Green Homes website and should be completed online.

The deadline for applications is midnight on Tuesday, November 12, 2024.
