Miller Homes' Summer of Sport Initiative Off to a Flying Start

Miller Homes' fantastic Summer of Sport initiative is now well underway, and clubs and teams across the country have been coming forward in their droves for a chance to win GBP500.



    EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND, August 08, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Miller Homes' fantastic Summer of Sport initiative is now well underway, and clubs and teams across the country have been coming forward in their droves for a chance to win GBP500.

On the back of a successful pilot scheme run last summer, the leading UK house builder is urging local clubs and organisations within its eight regional areas to enter the contest by collecting an application form from their local Miller Homes development.

To be in with a chance of winning, entrants have to say in no more than 200 words why their sports club deserves to win the money, how it will benefit the club and what it will be spent on. Closing date for entries is Sunday 1st September, and Sunday 15th September for Scotland.

Chris Endsor, Chief Executive of Miller Homes, said: "When it comes to supporting local communities, we are always keen to get involved - particularly if our support will provide opportunities for education, sport or development. Building great communities is at the heart of our ethos, and we believe that initiatives such as our Summer of Sport campaign go a long way towards nurturing these.

"Our judges will be looking for examples of how the sporting clubs in our communities will make the most out of our donation, for details of how it will directly support the learning and fitness for its members and examples of what new equipment they will be able to buy.

"We strongly encourage anyone with an affiliation to a sports team or club to have a go, and wish all entrants the very best of luck."

Details of the initiative have been distributed at a local level among sports clubs and associations; however community leaders and club managers can still pick up an entry form at any one of Miller Homes' marketing suites across the country.

Miller Homes operates in the following eight regional areas: North West of England, North East of England, Yorkshire, East Midlands, West Midlands, Southern, Scotland East and Scotland West.
