Fine & Country Norfolk and Suffolk has now donated a total of £42,000 to The Benjamin Foundation in East Anglia.
Fine & Country Norfolk and Suffolk says its ongoing partnership, which began in 2021, reflects the firm’s commitment to giving back to the community it serves.
A portion of every completed sale from the offices in Beccles, Norwich, Fakenham, Ipswich, Woodbridge and Diss is donated directly to The Benjamin Foundation, and the charity has also been successful in securing funding through The Fine & Country Foundation’s Spring and Autumn grant schemes.
Founded as a small youth outreach initiative in North Norfolk, The Benjamin Foundation has grown into a regional cornerstone for support services – tackling youth homelessness, providing Early Years education, youth and family support, and promoting emotional wellbeing and mental health. The charity currently supports more than 3,000 young people and families annually.
Christopher Scott, managing director of Fine & Country South Norfolk and North Suffolk and member of Fine & Country’s National Advisory Council, commented: “I am absolutely delighted to be able to support such a worthwhile charity helping young people with hope, opportunity, stability and independence to avoid homelessness.”
Darren J Warren, director of Fine & Country Norwich, added: “As we give a percentage of each fee we earn to support The Benjamin Foundation, it has recently been discussed with Josh from the Foundation what else we could do to support the charity. It was suggested that we sign up to complete the Three Peaks Challenge next year, which myself and other members of the Norwich team have agreed to do, so watch this space!”
