The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
A South Holland District Council-owned housing company has once again given its profits to charity.
Welland Homes made a £128,274 profit which has been shared between Citizens Advice South Lincolnshire, the Lincolnshire Community and Voluntary Service, Active Lincolnshire and South Holland in Bloom.
Citizens Advice South Lincolnshire will receive £88,074, which will be used in its goals to provide free advice on rights and responsibilities.
There will be £31,000 donated to Lincolnshire Community and Voluntary Services for its work promoting and supporting volunteering.
Active Lincolnshire has been given £6,000 for its events and £3,000 will be donated to South Holland in Bloom for the area’s Britain In Bloom competition entries.
The directors of Welland Homes are all councillors who are not allowed to take money from the company.
A spokesman said: “We are extremely proud that Welland Homes’ continued growth and development is allowing the company to make donations of this size to a group of charities that go above and beyond to support our local area a great deal.
“With yet another successful and profitable year, it pays testament to the incredible hard work put in by everyone involved with the company and shows the financial benefits the company provides to the council.”
