Persimmon Homes bike-a-thon raises thousands

The staff at Persimmon Homes cycled the virtual journey and pedalled a gruelling 429 miles which is the equivalent distance of all six head offices and raised £2,930, which was generously match-funded by the company.

The company also recently helped support our Quality Moments Matter campaign by pledging £5,000 worth of match-funding which helped to smash our £400,000 target.

A spokesperson for Persimmon Homes said: “What we do is about much more than just building homes, it’s about leaving a lasting impact in the communities that we build in.

“We’re always delighted to lend a hand to local charities to boost their ongoing initiatives or contribute to causes that mean a lot to them.

“It’s an honour to be able to offer this donation to Hope House after the team’s hard work during the bike-a-thon, where we all had lots of fun raising funds for such a brilliant regional cause.”

Our fundraiser Dawn said: “We’re thrilled to have the support of Persimmon Homes and are so grateful for all their incredible support!

“Without such generous support from teams like Persimmon we wouldn't be here to support and care for the children that need us.

“The bike-a-thon was a lot of fun and a great way to raise money! I even chipped in and did a few miles myself with the team.

“Thank you team Persimmon for everything.”
