Bromborough-based charity The Personalised Assisted Living (PALS) Trust has been awarded a £3,000 grant from Persimmon Homes North West through its Community Champions initiative.

Els Roberts, trustee at the PALS Trust, said: “Currently we are raising funds for a garden room to be built at the back of the building, giving much-needed extra space for the young people to enjoy some quiet time or even socialise together.

“Persimmon’s grant will help greatly toward to cost of this and all PALS, both young and old, are extremely grateful!”

Founded in 2018, the charity supports 16 young adults with disabilities, helping them live independently in supported flats.

Paul Carhart, chief executive of Wirral Methodist Housing Association, welcomed the funding.

He said: “Wirral Methodist Housing were delighted to hear that the PALS group had received £3,000 from Persimmon Homes towards their tenants’ funds.

“We as a Housing Association are really pleased to see the amount of work the group do and are very supportive towards their goals.”

David Hodgson, sales director at Persimmon Homes North West, said the company is committed to making a positive impact beyond housing.

He said: “What we do is about much more than just building homes, it’s about leaving a lasting positive legacy in the communities that we build in.

“Given our presence in the Wirral, we are always looking to support local good causes, and I am delighted we could donate to the PALS Trust.”

The grant will go towards creating a dedicated garden room to give residents additional space for relaxation and socialising.
