This summer has been an eventful one for us at Karbon Homes.

We celebrated the launch of our new Karbon Foundation. The foundation is a really exciting development; it brings together the support we give to people in our communities and creates a new focal point for investment in all our charitable activities. The foundation will be a rallying point for new partners and new funding for projects which support both our customers and people in the communities in which they live. I’m looking forward to keeping you updated on the impact our charitable arm has going forward.

We were also thrilled to have been crowned homebuilder of the year at the Northern Housing Awards in June. Judges praised our commitment to social value and our investment in smart technology, particularly in homes for older residents to help support independence and social connection. I am extremely proud of all of the Karbon team who contributed to our win. We know there is much more to do and we are excited to deliver much more.

In this edition of Karbon Life, you can read about the latest milestone in our development of new homes in Northumberland and how we are supporting a charity to provide safe sleeping environments for North East Children.
