Persimmon Homes Severn Valley presented a cheque to Downend Men in Sheds at their workshop near Emersons Green as part of the housebuilder’s Community Champions scheme. The donation will help support the group’s upcoming relocation and future growth. Carly Spear, sales director at Persimmon Homes Severn Valley, said: "Persimmon loves using our Community Champions pot to help local groups, especially those that go on to help others as well, so we are delighted to have been able to support Downend Men in Sheds through this donation. "So Downend Men in Sheds can’t thank Persimmon enough." Persimmon’s Community Champions scheme donates £700,000 each year to good causes and much-valued organisations across Britain.
