An animal rescue and wellbeing centre in Milton Keynes has received a cash boost from a national housebuilder.

Newton Longville based, Curly Tails received the £1,000 donation from Persimmon Homes as part of its Community Champions initiative. Founded in Milton Keynes in March 2016, becoming a registered charity in February 2017, the charity provides a compassionate space where humans and animals thrive together. Through interactive visits, nurture sessions, school trips and one-to-one support, the charity helps people of all ages and abilities to improve their confidence, wellbeing and sense of belonging, while ensuring our rescued animals live safe and happy lives.

Jane Scott, Founder of Curley Tails said:

“We’re absolutely delighted by this kind donation from Persimmon Homes. Our goal has always been to provide positive experiences for local people at the same time as providing happy lives for rescued animals. This donation will enable us to continue the work that we do.”

Claire Dearsley, Sales Director at Persimmon Homes Midlands, said:

“What we do is about much more than just building homes, it’s about leaving a lasting positive legacy in the communities that we build in. We’re always delighted to lend a hand to local groups to boost their ongoing initiatives or contribute to causes that mean a lot to them.

“It’s great to be able to provide Curly Tails with this donation which will help their continue to provide an important service to the local community.”
