Housebuilder donates £4,000 to Hope Rescue, Llanharan
Persimmon Homes East Wales presented the cheque to Llanharan-based Hope Rescue earlier this month, with £2,500 raised through staff taking on the Three Peaks Challenge.
The remaining £1,500 came from Persimmon's Community Champions scheme.
Victoria Williams, sales director at Persimmon Homes East Wales, said: "Being based just up the road from our headquarters and doing great work across a large area of South Wales, Hope Rescue is an ideal local charity for Persimmon to support.
"We're pleased to be able to do this through a combination of support through our Community Champions scheme and direct fundraising efforts from colleagues who undertook the Three Peaks challenge.
"With our development, The Parish, only a few minutes' drive away, there'll no doubt be a dog looked after by Hope Rescue that will one day make a Persimmon house their home too."
Hope Rescue takes in stray dogs from six local authority areas, regardless of age, breed or health.
The charity also supports owners who need to rehome pets due to difficult circumstances.
Jade Lewis, corporate partnerships fundraiser at Hope Rescue, said: "We're delighted Persimmon have chosen us as charity they'd love to support – not only once, but twice over, through help from both their Community Champions scheme and from fundraising by the business.
"This donation will help us continue to do the work we love to do, looking after beautiful dogs who are in need of a little help to find their perfect home."
