Douglas Allen shows support for local schools
East London and Essex estate agency, Douglas Allen, has launched a new campaign giving £10,000 worth of grants to schools.
A new ‘Get Moving with Douglas Allen’ campaign has been launched by the East London and Essex estate agency, aimed at supporting local schools in the area with £10,000 for sports equipment.
As part of the initiative, local schools can apply for up to £1,000 to purchase much-needed sports equipment. These grants are designed to enhance physical education programs and provide students with more opportunities to engage in various sports activities.
Greensted Primary School in Basildon is the first recipient of a grant, receiving a delivery of sports equipment worth up to £750, designed to empower students in their PE classes and support the school’s sports teams.
“The joy on the students’ faces when our Basildon branch team arrived was priceless – it was clear the new equipment would make an impact!,” said branch Manager, Greg Wade.
Giving back
Over the years, Douglas Allen has partnered with both local and national charities, including Barnardo’s, Haven House, St Francis Hospice, and The Children’s Trust. Through various fundraising efforts such as running, swimming, cycling, hosting charity days, and dressing up, the agency has raised over £750,000 across the network with Arun Estates for these worthy causes.
Michael Wright, Operations Director at Douglas Allen, said: “The Get Moving campaign is another step in our ongoing efforts to make a positive impact on our community. We believe that by encouraging physical activity and providing schools with the necessary resources, we can help promote healthier lifestyles and foster a sense of teamwork and sportsmanship among students.
“We urge schools across East London and Essex to apply for the Get Moving grants and take advantage of this opportunity to enhance their sports programs. Together, let’s Get Moving and make a difference in our communities.”
