Sponsorship & Charitable Donations

How to apply for funding

At Pennyfarthing Homes, we believe in the power of giving back. As a housebuilder deeply rooted in the communities we serve, we are committed to supporting local initiatives, charities, and organisations that make a real difference. Whether it’s through sponsorships, charitable donations, or community partnerships, we aim to strengthen the bonds that make our developments thrive.

To ensure a fair and transparent process, we manage all sponsorship and charitable donation applications once a year. This approach allows us to carefully consider each application and provide meaningful support to the initiatives that align with our values.

Applications are now closed.

Please note that we can only respond to applications submitted through this process. Applications are expected to re-open towards the end of 2026, with decisions being made in early 2027 for the following year’s sponsorship.

We look forward to supporting the projects and organisations that make a lasting impact in our communities.

Our sponsorships for 2026

Oakhaven Walk 2026

We were delighted to sponsor the Oakhaven Walk once again in 2026, supporting Oakhaven Hospice and the invaluable care it provides to patients and families across the New Forest, Totton and Waterside communities.

Taking place on Saturday 16th May, the walk saw more than 650 participants take on routes of approximately 8, 13 or 26 miles along the beautiful Hampshire and Dorset coastline, all finishing at Oakhaven Hospice in Lymington.

Together, the walkers raised an incredible £187,000 to help Oakhaven continue providing vital palliative and end-of-life care and support within our local community.

New Forest & Hampshire County Show – West Ring

Pennyfarthing Homes is also proud to continue its longstanding support for the New Forest & Hampshire County Show in 2026.

Having supported the Show for more than 20 years, we are delighted to once again sponsor the West Ring, playing our part in one of the New Forest’s best-loved annual events.

As a family-run housebuilder with roots firmly established in the New Forest, our continued support of the Show reflects our commitment to the local community and to the people, organisations and traditions that make this area such a special place to live.

Sponsorship & Charitable Donation Request Form

    Donation Request Guidelines

    Pennyfarthing Homes is asked to support many worthwhile charitable causes and events each year.

    Whilst we make every effort to accommodate as many requests as possible, due to the number of requests we receive, we are simply unable to accommodate all requests.

    In order for your organisation to be considered for sponsorship or a donation/donation item, you must complete an application following these guidelines:

    • All donation requests must be submitted via a Pennyfarthing Homes Sponsorship and Charitable Donation Request Form.

    • The Sponsorship and Charitable Donation Request Form must be filled out completely in order for your request to be considered.

    • Pennyfarthing Homes’ core values are forefront and we are avid supporters of our local communities, consequently any organisation applying must be located within a 20-mile radius of our Head Office in New Milton or, one of our developments in Hampshire.

    • Your organisation cannot have received a donation from Pennyfarthing Homes during the current financial year (February to January). Any organisation is only eligible to receive one donation per financial year.

    • Pennyfarthing Homes’ sponsorship and charitable funds will be allocated for the year, by the end of February each year. We will aim to respond to all requests by the end of February each year. Requests received outside of the above period will be considered for the following financial year.

    • Pennyfarthing Homes may want to publicise our sponsorship or donation therefore any organisation must agree to this prior. A copy of your organisation’s logo will need to be provided in order that we can do this.

    Please note that submitting a request does not guarantee your organisation will receive a donation.

    Thank you for considering Pennyfarthing Homes. We wish you the very best of luck with your fundraising efforts.
