Local housebuilder honours community ‘stars’ with engraved plaque

Local housebuilder, David Wilson Homes Yorkshire East, is honouring selfless Harrogate heroes with a special, engraved plaque at its Grange Park development.

In celebration of its five-star rating in the HBF (Home Builders Federation) customer satisfaction survey, the housebuilder wanted to recognise star-quality from the local area. David Wilson Homes had asked the Harrogate community to nominate individuals who have proven their commitment to local initiatives through charity work or good deeds.

Norman Smales and Karen Tennant, who both volunteer at the local Alzheimer’s Society’s Memory Lane Café in Knaresborough, were nominated for their on-going hard work and commitment to the organisation by Harrogate’s Alzheimer’s Society Services Manager, Alison Wrigglesworth. Norman and Karen were presented with an engraved plaque that honoured their voluntary work, which will remain a permanent fixture on the Grange Park development.

Knaresborough’s Memory Lane Café supports older people living with dementia, depression and loneliness by offering them a great place to relax, socialise and take part in activities. Norman and Karen’s passion for the café helps the group to thrive; they are both fundamental in the running of the group, engaging new volunteers and creating new ideas.

Alison commented: “I’m delighted that we are able to recognise all of the hard work, time and effort that Norman and Karen have dedicated to our charity and I know that the whole group highly values their efforts. Their support and time has helped so many people and we couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate their dedication to the local area.”

Chris Neal, Sales Manager for Grange Park, commented: “As a community focused housebuilder, we believe that it’s important to support our local areas and the people who live there. The five-star award recognises our commitment to outstanding customer service; it’s through this we build long-lasting and trusting relationships with our customers. We wanted to acknowledge people we believe encompass the same five-star values in the communities in which we build, which is why we’re thrilled to highlight the fantastic work of Norman and Karen at our Grange Park development.”

Nestled in the picturesque and highly sought-after village of Hampsthwaite, and with Harrogate just a stone’s throw away, residents can enjoy a wide range of local amenities nearby, making it the perfect choice for families and professionals alike.
