Allison Homes Donates To Leicestershire LGBTQ+ Centre



This Pride Month (June), regional homebuilder Allison Homes has donated £500 to Leicestershire LGBTQ+ Centre for the fourth consecutive year.


Leicestershire LGBTQ+ Centre is an inclusive space in the heart of Leicester city centre, dedicated to celebrating diversity, fostering community and providing support for people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. The charity offers a range of support services and hosts events, workshops and social gatherings throughout the year.


Allison Homes’ £500 donation will assist with the general running costs associated with the centre, helping the charity to connect with more people in need of support across Leicestershire and Rutland.


The housebuilder first supported Leicestershire LGBTQ+ Centre in June 2023 and has made annual donations every Pride Month since, with the total donation amount now standing at £2,000.


Carla Hills, Interim Centre Manager at Leicestershire LGBTQ+ Centre, said:

“We're incredibly grateful to Allison Homes for supporting Leicestershire LGBTQ+ Centre for the fourth year in a row. It is brilliant to be able to count on their continued support and to see a regional business recognise the importance of investing in local charities and community organisations."

“This donation will help us continue providing vital support, information and services to around 800 LGBTQ+ people each year across Leicestershire. We are delighted to have Allison Homes alongside us on that journey.”


Karl Edwards, Managing Director at Allison Homes East Midlands, said:

“Leicestershire LGBTQ+ Centre carries out vital work in our community, ensuring everyone has a safe space to turn to if they need support, guidance or to connect with peers. We take great pride in donating to the charity for a fourth time, helping them to continue offering their important services."

“At Allison Homes, we make annual Pride Month donations across all of our regions. As a business we strive to create inclusive communities for both our residents and employees, and will continue to foster an open culture where people of all identities feel supported and heard.”


Allison Homes’ East Midlands region operates from Castle Donington. In Leicestershire, homes at St Mary’s Chase in Stanton under Bardon, Markfield and Finney Meadows in Shepshed are available now, and a further two developments, Auster Meadows in Rearsby and Gynsill Grange in Anstey, are coming soon. In the neighbouring county of Nottinghamshire, Allison Homes East Midlands is delivering new homes at Hayes View in Cotgrave.

A new initiative to provide Devon and Somerset with an innovative tool to support tourism has taken another step forward.

Following the successful outcome of the Feasibility Study earlier this year, the next phase of the Tourism Data Hub project will see the development and build of a cloud-based Data Hub solution to gather and analyse data from a variety of sources.

This will include information from accommodation providers and attractions, transport networks, parking providers, the Meteorological Office plus third-party data to help analyse occupancy, revenue, footfall, and sentiment.

The Tourism Data Hub will allow businesses to identify future trends and to react accordingly or to monitor data from previous weeks or months.

Richard Stevens, Chair of Destination Plymouth and LEP Board Director commented,

“The development of the Tourism Data Hub will bring enormous benefits to the whole region, allowing our businesses to use real-time data to make better business decisions and grow as a result. It’s great to see Devon and Somerset leading the way in how we use data as a sector.”

Destination Plymouth is undertaking the procurement for the Tourism Data Hub for the Heart of the South West Local Enterprise area of Devon and Somerset. The project is funded by the Heart of the South West Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) with Destination Plymouth acting as lead body, working with a number of key partners.

David Ralph, CEO of the Heart of the South West LEP, said:

“The procurement of the South West Tourism Data Hub is a significant step towards enhancing our region's vital tourism and hospitality sectors. We are delighted to be supporting this initiative, which will not only drive recovery from the challenges of Covid-19 and the cost-of-living crisis but also foster innovation and growth.”

The Tourism Data Hub project will build a sustainable comprehensive data and research programme to support tourism, leisure and hospitality businesses to help drive productivity across the Heart of the South West LEP region of Devon, Somerset, Plymouth and Torbay.

The Tourism Data Hub will provide tourism businesses, Destination Management Organisations (DMOs) and the wider business community with consistent, robust, and valuable data insights into consumer and business behaviours to enable more efficient market targeting and product development to drive recovery post-Covid and the cost-of-living crisis.
