Mission green funding shared with Rossett community

Projects with an emphasis on sustainability, the environment, health and wellbeing were invited to apply to Mission Green Rossett, a voluntary scheme offered by the homebuilder.

Sales director Sian Pitt explained: “The concept of Mission Green is simple – we want to celebrate and support those people and organisations in and around Rossett who are working hard to look after the environment or residents’ wellbeing. We had a great response and received applications from a range of worthy causes. Deciding how to share the funding was tricky and so we tried to focus on projects that would have maximum impact on the wider community in the area surrounding our Trevalyn Place development.”

The Mission Green funding was allocated as follows:

• Age Connects North East Wales received funding to purchase items including heated blankets, thermal socks and hot water bottles for at least 30 older people in the Wrexham area
• Alyn Family Doctors was given a grant that will be used towards the cost of setting up a community wellbeing garden
• 1st Rossett Scout Group was awarded funds that will be used towards a variety of projects including litter picking and the development of wildlife houses
• Rossett Community Cupboard will use its share to cover costs associated with running the project, which stops end of life food going to landfill by giving it to local residents to help fight food poverty

Mission Green Rossett is a voluntary scheme.  It’s in addition to the £900,000 of community investment agreed during the planning process to be distributed via the local authority.

Trevalyn Place offers 99 private sale homes in a choice of three and four-bedroom designs. Current prices start from £334,995 for a three-bedroom semi-detached Marlow. For more information about the new homes in Rossett see Trevalyn Place.
