Brookbanks Donates to Kingfisher Foodbank

The Brookbanks Difference / News / Brookbanks Donates to Kingfisher Foodbank

Brookbanks is proud to have raised £1,520 in total for Cancer Research this month as some of our team took part in the Pretty Muddy Fundraiser Challenge. But it doesn’t stop there…

In July, we have donated £1,000 to the Kingfisher Foodbank, who provide an important service to those less fortunate in the surrounding areas of our Head Office in Birmingham. In the UK, more than 14 million people are living in poverty – including 4.5 million children. The Trussel Trust is an amazing charity that provide emergency food and support to people locked in poverty, through a nationwide network of more than 1,200 food banks across the UK. At Brookbanks, we believe this to be a really important cause that requires high appreciation.

We are always looking for new ways to support great causes… we can’t wait to see where our next fundraiser takes us and has us doing!

The Real Challenges Facing SME Housebuilders

March 3, 2026

The UK’s housing delivery challenge is well-documented. Yet amid the national conversation about planning reform, infrastructure, and build-out rates, one group consistently punches above its weight: Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise (SME) housebuilders. SMEs are a vital part of the solution, but they face very real and persistent development hurdles.
