Thank you Cala Homes!
We are delighted that Cala Homes are sponsoring a Chair Yoga course and a whole year of singalong sessions for our community!
We’re proud to have a varied calendar of activities and events for our Link Friends. Social connections are key to our wellbeing and having something fun in the diary to look forward to can make all the difference.
The donation comes as part of Cala’s major Community Pledge initiative at its Finchwood Park development, Finchampstead in Wokingham.
The Community Pledge incorporates a host of tailored measures addressing specific community needs, including donations, volunteering, learning programmes, support initiatives and much more.
Liz McDaniel, our senior fundraising manager said: “Loneliness is seen by many as one of the largest health concerns we face. It’s painful and can be harmful to our bodies, with studies showing that loneliness puts us at greater risk of developing dementia, heart disease and more.
“As a charity, we heavily rely on donations and the support from our volunteers, which is why we’re grateful to Cala’s donation to sponsor two popular activities that we offer.”
Alison Deakin, Sales and Marketing Director for Cala (Thames), said: “People and communities have always been at the heart of what we do, and we’re proud to be able to donate over £1,600 to the Link Visiting Scheme as part of our Community Pledge in Finchampstead.
“Our Community Pledge is a UK-wide initiative that has been developed by Cala’s teams to support charities, organisations and good causes in the communities where we build homes.
“We’re really pleased that our donation will go towards supporting The Link’s Chair Yoga and Sing-along for the next year, helping to bring members of the community together and combat loneliness, which can often affect people later in their lives”
