Hide AdStala Thomson, sales and marketing director for Cala Homes, said: “We’re proud to have launched our first ever Community Pledge at Farendon Fields, Weston Turville and have loved getting to know the local people and organisations who have been involved so far.
“Collaborating with communities on initiatives that will really make a difference to them helps us to forge even stronger connections to the areas in which we are building homes, something we really value.
“We’ll continue to provide updates on the fantastic programme of support we have planned for Farendon Fields, and look forward to rolling out more Pledges around our Chiltern region this year.”
Up to 10 products from local businesses are put on show at the showrooms at any one point. This often puts a spotlight on local artists, creators and independent retailers. All local businesses who feature are signposted throughout the property.
Application windows are opened when businesses can contact the developer to enquire about being put on show at the venue.
