A Cambridgeshire housebuilder has supported a local Scouts and Beavers group by assisting in their fundraising efforts.

Allison Homes East has donated a White Company hamper to Whittlesey Scouts and Beavers, to act as the main prize for their upcoming fundraising bingo event on April 5.

The housebuilder's marketing manager, Dan Bursnall, personally delivered the hamper, along with goody bags for all of the children in attendance.

The group is currently fundraising to allow more Whittlesey Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, and Explorers to take part in camps and planned activities, and to enable them to take part in new activities such as paddleboarding by purchasing new equipment.

Fran Cox at Whittlesey Scouts and Beavers said: "Scouts are do-ers and give-it-a-go-ers, and we are constantly striving to provide them with new challenges and goals to achieve, so this contribution from Allison Homes to our fundraiser is a big help, and the children really enjoyed their goody bags."

Whittlesey is the location of an upcoming development for the housebuilder, which will be located on Drybread Road, north of its existing Whittlesey Green development, and will consist of 175 homes, 35 of which will be affordable.

It is also within easy reach of two of its current developments, Harriers Rest and Abbey Park.

Kelly Toms, sales and marketing director at Allison Homes East, said: "We are delighted to support Whittlesey Scouts and Beavers.

"They do excellent work in the community, and we wish them all the best in their future adventures."
