Chestnut Homes cements commitment to support for Lincolnshire by raising more than £17,000 for local causes
Lincolnshire housebuilder Chestnut Homes has reinforced its commitment to the county by raising a total of £17,650 for the local community in 2025.
Last year saw the housebuilder support a total of 20 Lincolnshire charity and community initiatives, including healthcare charities, sporting initiatives and schools.
Highlights from the year included Chestnut Homes raising £10,480 for Macmillan Cancer Support and St Barnabas Hospice. The money raised for St Barnabas contributes to 238 hours of care, while for Macmillan Cancer Support it could pay for a nurse for 17 days.
St Barnabas, which has facilities across Lincolnshire, provides palliative and end-of-life care for adults living with a life-limiting or terminal illness. Chestnut Homes has been a long-standing charity partner for 15 years, and this year saw the housebuilder dedicate 32 hours to support for the cause.
This included staff volunteering their time to the hospice’s Big Business Help Out campaign, which sees companies support with hospice tasks including sorting donations, distributing flyers and helping with workshops. Chestnut Homes also volunteered time to St Barnabas’ annual Tree Cycle scheme, where they collected real Christmas trees from homes to be recycled in return for a charity donation.
Chestnut Homes continued to support with raffle donations, including £750 worth of prizes to construction firm Daniel Charles in support of St Barnabas and Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance. Meanwhile, further donations from the year supported the Royal British Legion, Welton & District Patients’ & Doctors’ Association, as well as local community festivals across the county.
David Newton, managing director at Chestnut Homes, said: “Our charity work reflects the communities we build in, and we’re proud to have supported a wide range of causes that make a real difference to where we’re rooted.
“It’s the dedication from our employees and their desire to give back that has allowed us to support so many different initiatives, and we’re grateful to every person at Chestnut Homes who has helped make a difference.”
In addition to support for the region’s charities and community initiatives, each year Chestnut Homes also dedicates time and funds to supporting the younger members of the community, through school partnerships. 2025’s efforts included donating topsoil and stones for a new gardening wildlife area at Sibsey Primary School and supplying a new storage shed and play equipment worth £500 to St Mary’s Primary School in Welton.
Sporting challenges and grassroots sport formed another key part of Chestnut Homes’ charitable activity in 2025. The company was an official sponsor of the C2C2C Charity Bike Ride, which it has taken part in for 14 years. Members of its team took on the 100-mile coast-to-coast-to-coast challenge in support of seven charities, including LIVES, Headway Lincolnshire and St Andrew’s Hospice.
Chestnut Homes also participated in charity sporting events to raise money for cancer charity Anthony Nolan and funded branded training wear for the HBW Football Club’s U7 team.
David added: “True community support goes beyond one single cause, and by championing a diverse range of initiatives, we’re committed to helping our communities thrive.
“Lincolnshire is a fantastic county and we’re proud to have been able to show our support for the many brilliant charities, community initiatives and causes that help make Lincolnshire such a wonderful place to call home.”
Chestnut Homes has a range of developments across Lincolnshire including Kings Manor in Coningsby, The Meadows in Dunholme, Chantrey Park in Market Rasen, The Quadrant and Heron Park in Wyberton and Millers Walk in Sibsey.
