Allison Homes donates to Leicestershire LGBTQ+ Centre for fourth consecutive year

Allison Homes has donated £500 to Leicestershire LGBTQ+ Centre as part of its annual Pride Month fundraising, marking the fourth consecutive year it has supported the charity.

The donation takes the regional housebuilder’s total contributions to the Leicester-based organisation to £2,000 since it first partnered with the charity in 2023. The funding will help cover the centre’s day-to-day running costs, enabling it to continue providing support, information and community services to LGBTQ+ people across Leicestershire and Rutland.

Carla Hills, interim centre manager at Leicestershire LGBTQ+ Centre, said: “We’re incredibly grateful to Allison Homes for supporting Leicestershire LGBTQ+ Centre for the fourth year in a row. It is brilliant to be able to count on their continued support and to see a regional business recognise the importance of investing in local charities and community organisations.

“This donation will help us continue providing vital support, information and services to around 800 LGBTQ+ people each year across Leicestershire. We are delighted to have Allison Homes alongside us on that journey.”

Karl Edwards, managing director at Allison Homes East Midlands, said: “Leicestershire LGBTQ+ Centre carries out vital work in our community, ensuring everyone has a safe space to turn to if they need support, guidance or to connect with peers. We take great pride in donating to the charity for a fourth time, helping them to continue offering their important services.

“At Allison Homes, we make annual Pride Month donations across all of our regions. As a business we strive to create inclusive communities for both our residents and employees, and will continue to foster an open culture where people of all identities feel supported and heard.”
