Premium housebuilder Redrow has made a £500 donation to CFC Shalford Football club to help maintain the pitch over the season. The club is based in Braintree and Redrow Eastern division has made the donation on behalf of the community at its Millview Park development in Bocking.

Located just 4 miles from the Redrow development, the club was formed in 1985 by a group of cricketers from Braintree Cricket Club who wanted to keep fit during the winter – CFC stands for Cricket Football Club. The club progressed from division 4 of the Braintree & North Essex Sunday League to the premier division in successive seasons.

Redrow’s much needed donation will help the improve and maintain the pitch after a hot and busy summer. It will also contribute to website works for the club, helping target new players and take the team to new heights within the local community. Redrow has worked with the club for a number of years, and this donation continues their long-term partnership.

Jody Bryant, Sales Director at Redrow Eastern, said: “Sporting teams are a crucial part of the local community, encouraging interaction with our neighbours and helping everyone stay active, so we’re pleased to be able to continue to support CFC Shalford FC with this donation. We wish the team luck in the upcoming season!”

Ian Butcher, Chairman at CFC Shalford FC, said: “Redrow’s generous donation will support us in keeping our pitch in good condition and updating our website to attract new players. Redrow have been a partner and sponsor of the club for many years, following Redrow’s previous developments in the Braintree area, and it is always great working together, with a refreshed pitch and website, our players will be able to continue developing their skills and take the team on to new successes.”

Millview Park, nestled on the rural edges of a thriving Essex town, offers the perfect balance of town and country living. With a close-knit village feel and plenty of open green spaces nearby, but excellent travel connections, this elegant collection of new homes in Braintree will appeal to all kinds of buyers. Potential residents at Millview Park will be able to benefit from an on-site community Orchard, beautifully landscaped areas of open space and various equipped areas of play for children.

The development’s proximity to the M11 results in travel time to central London being less than 90 minutes, or just over an hour on the train from Braintree station.
