A housebuilder has supported a scout group with a donation to help fund new equipment and activities.

Allison Homes Central donated hampers to Whittlesey Scout Group to be used as raffle prizes at a fundraising event.

The group raised funds to help more young members attend camps and outdoor adventures while funding new gear for activities such as paddleboarding.

Fran Cox, from Whittlesey Scout Group, said: "Whittlesey Scout Group would like to thank Allison Homes for their continued support of providing raffle prizes for our fundraising events.

"We held a quiz evening in October and raised a fantastic amount.

"The two hampers provided by Allison Homes made a great contribution towards the evenings' total.

"The money raised at this event will go towards our 'getting on the water project' and replace worn out camping equipment."

Whittlesey is the location of Allison Homes’ upcoming Violet Meadows development, which will deliver 175 homes on Drybread Road.

This is not the first time the company has supported the scout group with raffle prize donations.

The group serves young people aged four to 18, offering opportunities to learn life skills, build confidence and take part in adventurous activities such as camping, climbing and kayaking.

Fundraising helps ensure all members can participate in these experiences and supports the replacement of essential equipment.

Kelly Toms, sales and marketing director at Allison Homes Central, said: "We’re delighted to continue supporting the Whittlesey Scout Group.

"They do brilliant work in the community, and we’re proud to play a small part in helping them achieve their fundraising goals."

The group’s next fundraising event, an Easter Bingo night, will take place at Whittlesey Scout Hut on Inhams Road on March 20, 2026.

Allison Homes has confirmed it will also be supporting this event.
