Our Charitable Activities
Supporting our communities
Persimmon helps to support our communities by making donations to local charities and community groups in the areas where we operate. For further information or to apply for funding, please visit our charity website.
We established the Community Champions scheme in 2015. In the last two years, the scheme has donated over £1.35m to over 1,400 charities, sports clubs and local community groups across the country.
The scheme previously donated £2,000 per month per operating business to a range of local charities, sports clubs and community groups. As these organisations are increasingly asked to do even more and are also encountering rising costs, during 2022 the scheme increased this to £6,000. Each of our 30 local operating business now donates £6,000 every three months to local organisations – at least £24,000 over the year.

Supporting our communities
Through Persimmon’s Community Champions scheme, our West Scotland office supported an all-girls’ football club in North Ayrshire with a £1,000 donation.
Clark Drive Girls FC runs teams ranging from under-sevens to women. They play a key role in the community and provide a welcoming environment for girls of all ages to train, compete and develop their skills. The club is based in Irvine, where Persimmon has been building vibrant and successful communities.
Persimmon’s donation relieved some of the funding pressure on the club’s players, friends and families and was used to provide new equipment to help support more girls and women to get involved in the game.
