Bourne Foodbank welcomes generous donation from local housing developer

A housebuilder based in Bourne has delivered a loaded car boot full of supplies to Bourne Foodbank, following a collection held by staff at its head office.

Allison Homes, which is building new homes across the East, donated the food for those in need of essential supplies this Christmas.

Bourne Foodbank, based off Spalding Road, is part of a nationwide network of foodbanks supported by The Trussell Trust, which works to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.

The local foodbank, which opened in 2013, is run by Churches Together as a service to Bourne and the surrounding villages, and has over 40 volunteers and trustees who work to assist as many people in need as possible.

Maureen Cornell, Operations Manager at the Bourne Foodbank, said: “We are delighted with the generous donation from the staff at Allison Homes and we know many families will be blessed by the items over the Christmas period.”

Samantha Hart, Sales and Marketing Director at Allison Homes, said: “As a responsible housebuilder, we believe it is hugely important to help local people and organisations however we can.

“Christmas is all about coming together, and nobody deserves to go hungry, especially during the festive period.

“It has been a huge pleasure to be able to contribute to Bourne Foodbank and those who benefit from its services, and we hope our donation will offer a helping hand to those in need.”

A food collection point is located at Tesco in Bourne, open Monday to Saturday from 6am to midnight, and Sunday from 10am to 4pm. Foodbank opening hours are Tuesday, 1pm to 3pm and Friday, 9am to 11am.

Items which the foodbank is currently in need of are baked beans, UHT milk, jam, marmalade, fruit juice, squash, shampoo, washing up liquid, laundry washing liquid or powder, and soap or liquid handwash. Tinned items include soup, fish, fruit, ham, pies, custard and vegetables.

Two new show homes open at quick-selling Wittering development

House-hunters are being invited to explore two brand-new show homes, which have now been unveiled at a popular new housing development in Wittering.

Bourne-based Allison Homes is building a high-quality collection of three, four and five bedroom open market homes at Harriers Rest, off Lawrence Road.

Visitors who book an appointment with Allison Homes’ sales team can explore the four bedroom Redbourne and the three bedroom Normanby home styles, to give them an idea of what life could be like at the development.

Group Chief Executive Officer of Allison Homes, John Anderson was present on the day to cut the ribbon to mark the official opening of the new show homes.

At Harriers Rest, Allison Homes is providing a total of 133 homes for private sale, alongside 57 properties for affordable rent and shared ownership.

Since the development’s official launch in January 2021, a total of 28 homes have been sold, with the first residents now settled into their new homes.

As part of the planning agreement for Harriers Rest, Allison Homes is also injecting more than £1.2 million into local community facilities and infrastructure. Upon completion, the development will also feature two access roads, and two public open space areas together with a larger open space area adjacent to the A1.

Samantha Hart, Sales and Marketing Director at Allison Homes, said: “We are very pleased to have launched two excellent new show homes at Harriers Rest, which will give house-hunters an idea of the excellent quality homes we have available for those seeking an enviable country village lifestyle.

“This development follows the exciting announcement of our rebranding, and is the first Allison Homes development with this new adventure in mind, reflecting our growth plans and investment in the future of development through innovation and sustainable building methods.

“We would like to give a huge thank you to the local community for their patience as we continue our work to create a beneficial new community, helping more people in the area find the right home for them.

“As we are receiving lots of interest in the homes at Harriers Rest, we’d encourage house-hunters looking for a home in the area to get in touch with our sales team to book a viewing, or to find out more about the wonderful properties we have on offer.”

Forward-thinking and modern, the homes at Harriers Rest are designed with growing families, working professionals and downsizers in mind. Commuters can find the A1 on their doorstep, which is the longest numbered road in the UK, and stretches across 410 miles connecting to both London and Edinburgh.

Peterborough and Stamford are also nearby, offering key rail links to major cities such as London, Leicester, Cambridge and Birmingham.

The village of Wittering offers a whole range of local amenities and facilities, including a convenience store, country pub, and a fish and chip shop. It’s also a village with great character, featuring picturesque surroundings alongside a village hall, bowling green, and historic grade I listed church. Wittering Primary School, which is rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, is also just a short walk away.
