David Wilson Homes, the developer behind the Doxford Green site in Sunderland, is giving back to the community by shining a spotlight on the dedicated work of Friends of Doxford Park.
What began nearly a decade ago as a small community group has grown into a registered charity. With the support of local volunteers and Sunderland City Council, Friends of Doxford Park plays a key role in maintaining and enhancing the park for everyone to enjoy.
The ÂŁ1,000 donation will go towards the ongoing upkeep and rejuvenation of the 25-acre Doxford Park. Over the last 3 years, Friends of Doxford Park has been instrumental in transforming the park into an idyllic site for the whole community to enjoy. With this generous donation the charity will be able to push on and continue the improvements for the upcoming generations to enjoy, alongside improving native flora and fauna.
“We’re so pleased to be celebrating the wonderful efforts of Friends of Doxford Park. Maintaining such a beautiful space that is enjoyed by so many local residents is certainly no easy task, and the volunteers do an exceptional job whilst paying homage to its rich history. We’re very happy that our donation has made a difference to the incredible efforts of the charity and will look forward to seeing it bloom this summer!”
Rebecca Forrest, Sales Manager at David Wilson Homes’ Doxford Green development
“We’re very grateful to the team at David Wilson Homes’ Doxford Green development for their donation. The funds will be put towards the planting up and restocking of the aging mature native trees within the park and will provide a longer lasting tree stock, providing a wealth of biodiversity across the whole park. Alongside the trees we will continue the rejuvenation of the park, claiming back areas from the overgrown brash and planting up wildflower areas which will provide a habitat for the bees and butterflies to thrive.
Neale Brown, Manager of Friends of Doxford Park
“We are tremendously proud of our dedicated volunteers, and we look forward to using the funds to a good cause and continuing to make a difference.”
David Wilson Homes’ Doxford Green offers a range of luxury four and five bedroom homes, as part of the first phase of 60 homes on the development. Located in the semi-rural village of Ryhope, homeowners can take advantage of Sunderland’s city centre shopping and dining, as well as Seaham Beach and rural scenic walks surrounding the development.
