A Hertfordshire-based developer is lending a hand to a community in Norfolk after completing work on homes nearby.

White House Park in Attleborough comprises a selection of two, three and four-bedroom houses and apartments, constructed and developed by Matthew Homes.

Since starting work on the development, the firm has announced several sponsorships for local, community-based projects and sports stars. 

This includes Louie Currie, 13, from Attleborough's ABC Boxing Club, who dreams of becoming a professional in the sport.

In recent years, Louie has become a development squad boxer. He says: “I am looking forward to more sparring and I am determined to push myself to be the best I can be. My dream is to become pro”. 

Throughout 2023, developer Matthew Homes will also sponsor local community group, Attleborough Bloomers, which is led by town councillor Taila Taylor.
