Environmental and wellbeing projects in the Rossett area can now apply for a share of £5,000.

Castle Green Homes has launched Mission Green Rossett, a voluntary scheme connected to its new homes at Trevalyn Place.

The homebuilder intends to distribute £5,000 among community projects focusing on sustainability, the environment, health, and wellbeing.

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.

"With that in mind, we've launched Mission Green – with a chance for charities, schools, not-for-profit organisations and individuals to apply for a share of £5,000.

"If you're part of a community garden or local in bloom group that wants money towards tools, plants and seeds; want to install a weather station or bug hotel at your school; or are tidying up the neighbourhood and want litter pickers, bags and high-vis vests, we want to hear from you.

"We also want to support people's health and wellbeing so could fund training for counsellors or provide sports equipment, amongst other things."

Mission Green Rossett is a voluntary scheme. and it’s in addition to the community investment Castle Green will make under agreements signed during the planning process.

This includes approximately £900,000 to be shared among local schools, and distributed via the local authority.

Castle Green wants to assist a variety of projects and will therefore make a series of grants rather than allocating the full fund to one cause.

Application forms are available at castlegreenhomes.uk/mission-green-community-fund-rossett/ and should be completed online.

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