South Midlands staff race to raise £20,000 for charity

Staff from Miller Homes South Midlands took part in a go-karting fundraising event, which raised £20,000 for charity.

The event at Whilton Mill in Daventry included teams entered on behalf of contractors and suppliers to help raise funds for Miller Homes South Midlands’ regional charity of the year – Medical Detection Dogs. The Milton Keynes-based charity, alongside Miller Homes’ national charity Groundwork UK, will benefit from the proceeds of the event.

Gavin Jones, regional managing director of Miller Homes South Midlands, said: “We are all absolutely thrilled to have achieved such a feat at our recent fundraising team event – to raise £20,000 for charity is a fantastic amount and we’re very grateful to everyone who attended and contributed towards this total.

“Everyone had a great time, enjoying some competitive racing on the track and an opportunity to catch-up and enjoy a bite to eat in the sunshine, all while raising funds for charities including Medical Detection Dogs, who we are proudly supporting as our regional charity partner for the remainder of 2025.”

Medical Detection Dogs trains dogs to be able to detect odours linked to human disease, to develop less invasive and more efficient ways of diagnosing patients, leading to better outcomes.

Miller Homes South Midlands is currently building new homes in Northampton, Wellingborough, Stevenage, Arlesey and Houghton Conquest.

The developer is building many of its homes at significant housing projects across the region, including at the Stanton Cross development in Wellingborough, where Miller Homes recently opened a showhome to the public.
