Bacton community invited to nominate a good cause for £1,000 donation

A community chest competition has been launched in Bacton offering the chance for a local good cause to win a £1,000 grand prize.

Taylor Wimpey East Anglia, which is building new homes at the Beacon Green development on Church Road, is inviting people living in and around the village to nominate local groups, organisations or individuals they think are most deserving of a helping hand.

Be it a contribution towards some much needed new equipment, a personal fundraising challenge, or anything in between, Taylor Wimpey wants to hear from people.

Residents can submit their suggestions by emailing the name of the nominee, along with a brief description of why they have been nominated, to bactoncommunitychest@taylorwimpey-pr.co.uk

All nominations will need to be received by midnight on Sunday, April 28. Taylor Wimpey will then select one group, organisation or individual to receive the £1,000 donation.

Caroline Carter, sales and marketing director at Taylor Wimpey East Anglia, said: “Community groups and local charities rely heavily on the support they receive. We’ve worked with a number of good causes around Bacton since we started building at Beacon Green and it’s been great to see how our donations have helped local people so far.

“We’re therefore delighted to continue our support with our community chest campaign. If you know of a worthy cause in your area, we would love to hear about them.”
