Allison Homes and Accent Housing have worked together to support local charity Young People March with a donation of £11,000, following the progress of their partnership to deliver 110 affordable homes at the new ‘Upwell Meadows’ development in March, Cambridgeshire.
The donation was formally presented at a cheque presentation event at the youth centre on City Road in March on 13th August and is funded by Allison Homes through its Partnerships Charitable Scheme, which commits £100 for every home built at Upwell Meadows. With 110 homes in the scheme, the total donation directly reflects the scale of the development.
Upwell Meadows, located off Upwell Road, will feature a mix of one to four-bedroom homes, all available through affordable rent or shared ownership, and will contribute approximately £300,000 towards local infrastructure improvements, including highways, healthcare, library services, and footpaths. Over one hectare of public open space is planned, with a new play area, native landscaping, and upgrades to the public footpath along the southern boundary. All homes will be equipped with electric vehicle charging points and solar panels, achieving a minimum EPC rating of B. Construction began earlier this year, with foundations being laid in May.
The decision to support Young People March was made jointly by Allison Homes and Accent, reflecting their shared commitment to ensuring the benefits of the development extend to the wider community.
