Just over a week ago, more than 165 Crest colleagues walked, jogged, and ran to the finish line of our Charity Challenge walk for Young Lives vs Cancer.   Trekking across the Warwickshire countryside, the combined distance covered by those taking part was an unbelievable 3,592kms, and so far over £33,000 has been raised, and counting...   If you want to support our teams, you can still donate via our Just Giving page here: https://lnkd.in/e4cyFvz2

Never underestimate the power of making a lasting impression!   When Nichola and Neil visited our Sketchley Gardens site, they were surprised to find Mick Wale there. Mick had been the site manager for their previous new build purchase, and they had been thoroughly impressed by his professionalism and the quality of the build.   After discussing their needs, Mick showed them the 5-bed Buckingham. They were immediately taken by the space and layout, and knowing Mick was now with Crest Nicholson as site manager gave them full confidence in the quality of the build and service. This reassurance led them to reserving the home.   Now settled in, Nichola and Neil are delighted with their new home and the exceptional customer experience they've received.

Today around 170 Crest Nicholson staff will be taking part in our annual Charity Challenge; trekking across the Warwickshire countryside, walking either 13k, 26k or 35km to raise money for our charity partner Young Lives vs Cancer. Good luck to everyone who's taking part! If you would like to show your support for our teams you can donate here: https://lnkd.in/e4cyFvz2

Lights, camera, action! We recently welcomed a production crew to our Whitehouse Park site in Milton Keynes to film a brand-new toolbox talk video. As part of our ongoing commitment to driving resource efficiency and reducing waste, this video highlights the best practices we expect across all of our developments and will play an important role in training our site based colleagues. Covering key areas, such as the waste compound, hazardous waste station and material reuse areas, the video content is another way we're equipping our teams with the knowledge they need to reduce waste and associated costs. A huge thank you to our team at Whitehouse Park, the film crew at Pictures for the People and our waste provider Reconomy.

We were delighted to welcome players from Ipswich Town Ladies F.C. to our Henley Gate development this month for our community open event. Our Eastern division invited the local community to join them at Henley Gate in Ipswich, offering visitors an opportunity to explore our new build homes and tour the show home, including a specially designed Ipswich Town F.C. themed bedroom in celebration of their promotion to the Premier League. On the day, we were joined by Ella Rutherford, Sophie Peskett and Charlotte Flemming who greeted fans and engaged in a friendly kickabout with visitors. And we also launched our charity raffle, featuring a signed Ipswich Town F.C shirt, with all the proceeds going to our charity partner Young Lives vs Cancer. Read more here - https://bit.ly/3MiOjSs

Our Chiltern division recently hosted a summer community event at our Arborfield Green development in Berkshire, offering the opportunity for residents to come together to meet and bond with their neighbours. The day was open to all residents and the wider community, who were able to partake in a number of fun games or just connect and get to know one another, while the kids enjoyed getting their faces painted. We also collaborated with the on-site coffee shop to ensure sure that everyone had plenty of refreshments.

We're pleased to announce our partnership with Doncaster Foodbank (Trussell Trust) Ltd , located near to our Copley Park development in Sprotbrough.   As part of our commitment to helping the wider community and surrounding areas, employees from our Yorkshire division have set up a donation hub to encourage residents and the wider community to donate essential items, that will be used to create 3-day food parcels for those in crisis.   You can read more about the partnership, and find out where and how to donate, here: https://lnkd.in/e-TcbWh7

It's brilliant to see our Crest Nicholson homeowners creating beautiful outdoor spaces that reflect their personalities and lifestyles. Over the past few weeks, our customers have been showing off their gardens on their social accounts, and we love seeing all the different ways they make their garden their own from colourful flowers to stylish furniture. Here are some of the best garden pictures from across our developments. (Photo credits 📸: @grow_hyphanana @new_spouse_new_house @casadelmaher)
