HOUSEBUILDER Persimmon Homes West Yorkshire – which is behind the Branshaw Park development in Keighley – has launched a charity fund to support young people.

It is awarding grants of between £1,000 and £100,000 to community groups working with under-18s, across three categories – education and arts, health and sport.

Christopher Hull, for Persimmon, said: “As the country really feels the effects of the Covid-19 outbreak, the launch of our Building Futures scheme aims to help the younger members of our society.”
