SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Lanswood is committed to delivering positive economic, social and environmental impacts through its developments; often in partnership with local authorities, community groups and its supply chain.
Lanswood has donated just under £50,000 to local charities and community projects.
CHARITY
Lanswood’s vision is to work within four key areas; health, education, community and sport, to help raise funds and awareness that will improve lives and give opportunities to many hundreds of people. Our charitable contributions appear in a number of forms including sponsorship, donations and creating special experiences.
LOCAL COMMUNITY
Lanswood take a long term approach to investing in places and creating communities. We frequently transform derelict sites and brownfield land to create better places for people to live and work.
Lanswood engage extensively with community representatives in the locations where they are undertaking development work to ensure a collaborative approach and a brighter future, and they will obtain a range of views on our social and environmental policies and performance as their development projects require.
