As a local company, we have a strong belief in supporting local communities.
We like to go the extra mile to ensure that we are helping to develop local areas, as well as supporting local causes wherever we can:
Community Improvement Projects
We recognise there are great people with great ideas on how to improve their local area. We are keen and willing to support projects that are local to where we are building new homes for the benefit of the community.
Local Event Sponsorship & Charity Events
Are you running a local event in aid of a charity? Whether it is a local or national event, we can help with sponsorship and we will of course prioritise events for local charities.
We support charities and events such as:
Team Oakmere:
We don’t just sponsor local communities and charity events, here at ‘Team Oakmere’ we also like to get involved and do our part in raising money for charities close to our hearts!
Breast Cancer Awareness Day:
On Friday, October 18th, Team Oakmere embraced the colour pink in honour of Breast Cancer Awareness Day. This cause holds significant importance to us because it has touched the lives of some of our team members. We were determined to extend as much support as we could to this worthy cause.
Over the course of two days, Team Oakmere successfully gathered an impressive £5,324.00 through activities like wearing pink, hosting bake sales, a “Guess the Weight of the Boob Cake” contest, and a sweepstake!
Alzheimer’s Society Lake District TREK26:
In memory of both her parents Debbie Albion from our Technical & Planning Team took part in the Alzheimer’s Society Lake District TREK26 on 1st June 2024; around 1000 walkers tackled the trek described as a tough challenge and collectively raised more than £450k…..
Race for Life Pretty Muddy:
Once again Team Oakmere turned out together for the Race for Life Pretty Muddy in Carlisle on Sunday 22nd May 2022 – A brilliant 5k muddy obstacle course, saw them scramble over A-frames, crawl through tunnels and leap (fall) into mud pits!!
Well done for smashing it Team Oakmere, a great team effort.

“C2C” Coast to Coast:
Team Oakmere are pleased to announce they raised a whopping £4,005 for Alzheimer’s Research through their fundraising efforts in taking on the “C2C” Coast to Coast cycle challenge.
The team endured a wet start with heaps of persistent rain on Friday 30th July 2020 when they tackled the first leg from Whitehaven to Alston, undeterred they covered 81 miles and a leg burning 7,200 ft of climbs to reach their waypoint for the night, just in time for tea.
The following day, they tackled the 3 major climbs in quick succession totalling 3,600 ft and bagged a further 60 miles before raising a celebratory glass at Tynemouth pier.
