Redrow South West, currently building new homes at Romansfield in Okehampton, has presented Tor Support Services with a donation of £1,250 as part of its community fund initiative.
Launched last year, the Redrow community fund aims to support local organisations by providing much-needed donations, with local groups and charities invited to apply for their share of a £10,000 pot.
Based in Okehampton, Tor Support Services is a charity established in 2009 to provide free counselling services to local children and young people who are facing mental health challenges. The charity is passionate about providing a safe and confidential space for young people to speak openly about their experiences and learn tactics to help them cope.
Thanks to our donation, the charity was able to fund more counselling sessions for young people, which has helped to reduce the waiting list.
Helene Cox, Trustee at Tor Support Services, said: “We are very grateful to have received this generous donation. We offer free locally accessible counselling support that makes a real difference to the lives of children and young people in our area who are struggling to cope.”
Sian Smith, Sales Director at Redrow South West, said: “We’re committed to creating thriving communities within the local area and are proud to support local charities and organisations in the South West with the valuable work they do.
“Tor Support Services are a valuable part of the community, who provide fantastic and necessary support to many young people in Okehampton. We are proud to have helped provide the support that will benefit many families who use their services.”
Situated in the traditional market town of Okehampton, Romansfield is a great destination for those who love the outdoors, as there are green open spaces, including Dartmoor National Park, within minutes of the development. The location is also great for commuters, with hourly trains to Exeter available via the newly opened Dartmoor line. Okehampton also has a range of brilliant schools, making it the ideal place to raise a family.
