“This new area will create additional space ensuring we can safely meet the necessary social distancing rules.
“This is wonderful news for our service users and their carer’s.
“Our aim is to develop our service users’ self-confidence, improving their life skills, knowledge and abilities so they can achieve their full potential.”
Persimmon Homes Nottingham makes two donations of up to £1,000 every month to grassroots groups and charities in the areas where it is building.
