Harron Homes has made a donation to 1st Edwinstowe Guides to mark the launch of Thoresby Country Park, a picturesque new green space that will serve as a vibrant community hub for residents of Edwinstowe.

The Country Park, situated by Harron Homes’ Thoresby Vale development, offers an array of outdoor activities and recreational opportunities, making it a perfect destination for families and nature lovers looking for relaxation or community gatherings.

The 1st Edwinstowe Guides, which has been a cornerstone of the local community for 55 years, is especially excited about the park’s launch.

The donation from Harron will help offset the costs of a trip to Edinburgh, which involves 10 Guides and their leaders participating in a Monopoly challenge with 400 other guiding members.

Any surplus funds from this year’s fundraising activities will be directed towards preparations for the 60th anniversary of the 1st Edwinstowe Brownies next year, the oldest uniformed group in the village. These funds will ensure that the Brownies can continue their long-standing tradition of service and community engagement.

“We are delighted to receive this donation from Harron Homes,” said Tracy Walker, Edwinstowe Guide Leader. “The opening of Thoresby Country Park is an exciting development for our community, and we look forward to using the space for many of our future activities. The donation will greatly assist in making our upcoming trip to Edinburgh and our future celebrations possible.”

Natalie Griffiths, Sales and Marketing Director for Harron Homes North Midlands added, “Thoresby Country Park highlights our commitment to creating not just high-quality homes but also thriving communities, and we’re delighted to support local groups like the 1st Edwinstowe Guides as part of that commitment.

“The park’s proximity to the Thoresby Vale development makes it an ideal spot for residents to enjoy nature and community events, further enhancing the quality of life in this growing neighbourhood.”
