Two deserving local causes in the Doncaster area have received a funding boost thanks to a charitable fund set up by housebuilder, Persimmon Homes.

The company runs its Community Champions scheme to support charities and good causes in the areas it is building.

Among the latest recipients is Fostering North, which provides foster care and support to some of the most vulnerable children and young people in the region and newly founded Crosskeys Football Club in Epworth. Both groups each received a £1,000 donation from the housebuilder.

The carers at Fostering North, run by Action for Children, provide a caring environment for youngsters who can no longer live with their birth families, including those with complex behaviour needs and who may have suffered abuse or neglect.
