Miller Homes Funding Success
After the success of Miller Homes supporting over 96 communities across the North West during its first round of 2023’s Community Fund, the second round of funding has now commenced, with Sightline being selected as its first beneficiary.
We have received £1,000 to further the impactful work in assisting and empowering individuals with visual impairments across the North West and beyond.
Sightline is committed to improving the lives of visually impaired individuals by providing a valuable telephone befriending service. Our service offers friendship over the phone to help tackle the loneliness and isolation that can be felt by people living with sight loss.
The Community Fund initiative was set up by Miller Homes in September 2022, for local groups to have the opportunity to apply for donations between a minimum of £250 and a maximum of £2,000 as part of the builder’s ongoing commitment to support communities.
The funding provided by the Miller Homes will enable Sightline to enhance our service and expand our reach, ensuring that we can continue to make a significant difference in the lives of those who are visually impaired. The £1,000 contribution will directly support Sightline’s efforts in delivering the vital service and support to individuals in need.
Ian Edwards, Charity Director of Sightline expressed gratitude for the support, stating: “We are extremely grateful to Miller Homes for their generous contribution to our organisation. This funding will enable us to continue providing invaluable support to individuals with visual impairments and their families. With the assistance of Miller Homes, we can make a real difference in enhancing the lives of people living with sight loss.”
Clare Noakes, Miller Homes’ Sales Director for the North West, added: “We are delighted to have selected Sightline as one of the recipients of our Community Fund for 2023. Their dedication to improving the lives of visually impaired individuals aligns perfectly with our values. We believe in making a positive impact in the areas where we build, and Sightline’s work exemplifies this commitment. We are proud to support them in their mission and look forward to witnessing the positive outcomes they achieve with our funding.”
The Miller Homes Community Fund has been instrumental in providing financial support to numerous community groups across the North West and throughout the UK. The initiative aims to empower local charities and community organisations, ensuring they have the resources needed to continue their valuable work. Through this program, Miller Homes has allocated a total of £100,000 annually across its ten regional offices, supporting a wide range of initiatives that benefit communities nationwide.
