Housing provider donates £5k to Derby charity
CALA Homes launches initiative designed to make purchases smoother
An initiative has been launched to take personal service in housebuilding “to the next level,” and make purchasing a new home as smooth and tailored as possible. Available across 11 developments in
the East of Scotland, ‘Perfect Match’ will see CALA Homes (East) help buyers ensure a move can be achieved by removing hurdles with tailor-made incentives. The developer said this could include
everything from the firm offering LBTT (Land and Buildings Transaction Tax) contributions, to a part-exchange service, a guaranteed buyer for an owner’s current home, or helping with legal or moving fees through CALA Homes’
assisted move services. Philip Hogg, sales and marketing
director at CALA Homes (East), said: “We want to reflect that buying a home is a monumental, deeply personal transaction. Every move is unique – and we all are looking for different things or face different hurdles and challenges in securing that dream home. “That’s why we have created the
Perfect Match to provide buyers with a tailor-made package to make sure the move brings excitement and not stress.” The Perfect Match is applicable
across a range of developments and house styles. Each of the 11 develop- ments included in the promotion also offer a variety of options.

Housing provider Derwent Living has given a £5,000 grant to local charity Doorways Derby, who provide help to homeless and vulnerable people. The funding has been secured from Places for People social impact charity Places Foundation, who provide financial support to initiatives which improve the quality of life for people and communities.
The grant will be used to cover running costs, the purchasing of sleeping bags and supplies, and will help to finance the running costs of a new vehicle – essential in providing a mobile street kitchen service.
Derwent Living has previously supported the charity with clothing donations, food collections and staff volunteers, but the grant – one of the largest the organisation has ever secured – has reportedly added vital financial stability to the charity. Group head of social value at Places
Foundation, Jamie Dickinson commented: “Homelessness is a growing challenge across the UK with over 300,000 homeless people living on the streets, in temporary accommodation or ‘sofa surfing’ with family and friends.
“Last year the Places for People Group helped over 5,300 homeless people, so it’s great that the Places Foundation can continue to contribute and support work with Derwent Living and Doorways Derby. This funding is going to make a huge difference to some of the most vulnerable people in Derby and we look forward to developing this partnership further in the future.”
