In partnership with Barratt Homes, we have donated £1,400 to support the Feniscowles & Pleasington War Memorial Recreation Ground in Blackburn.

Supporting our communities

The 12 acre site is located close to our Riven Stones development. As well as being a World War I memorial, the site’s facilities are used by local sports teams from Feniscowles. 

Part of the donation has been used to sponsor a football match between Feniscowles & Pleasington FC and Mill Hill St Peter’s in the East Lancashire Premier Division which took place on 14th October 2023. It will also be used to sponsor the junior team of Feniscowles Cricket Club for the 2024 and 2025 seasons and fund improvements to the footpaths at the heritage site.

Jane Green, Chairperson of the Trustees for Feniscowles & Pleasington War Memorial Recreation Ground said: “It is so nice to have local businesses support us in our quest to maintain this excellent facility for our community. The grounds are wholly maintained by the Charity who rely on the profit from Feni Rec Bar and donations such as these. Costs have increased over the past few years, which makes it all the more difficult to raise the funds that make all the difference.”
