Social Responsibility
Annington Homes
The Trust was established to support activities and projects ‘on the patch’.
The Annington Trust was set up in 1996 at the time of the purchase of Annington Homes. It was one of a number of measures taken by the company as part of its commitment to families living in service accommodation. A capital sum was contributed and the Trust was established to support activities and projects ‘on the patch’. Income from the capital sum is used bi-annually to make grants to successful applicants. The Annington Trust has made grants to a variety of projects to benefit families living in service accommodation. Recipients of recent donations include:
- Mulberry Centre, McMullen Barracks, Southampton – Donation towards the refurbishment of their kitchen.
- RNAS Yeovilton, Ilchester – Donation to purchase equipment to set up a storybook project on behalf of the Navy.
- RAF Lyneham – Donation for the purchase of two play towers.
- Marlborough Infants, Aldershot Garrison – Donation to enable the school to buy fundraising equipment - including a popcorn making machine - for forthcoming school Summer Fairs.
- Abercorn Barracks, Ballykinler, Northern Ireland – Donation to purchase a sound system for the community centre.
- RAF Linton on Ouse – Donation for their annual reading challenge which purchased many books for the library.
