Portsmouth DSA wins the Persimmon Homes Vote!

Portsmouth DSA wins the Persimmon Homes vote for best UK educational charity and an incredible £100,000!

Our phenomenal PDSA community has done it again! Trustees Ken and Rachael were invited to the Persimmons Homes Gala in York yesterday evening, where fellow finalists watched a film about the work of Portsmouth DSA followed by the amazing announcement that PDSA had come top of the Persimmon vote for best UK educational charity! Rachael and Ken were thrilled to be presented with a cheque for an incredible £100,000. This is a fantastic amount and will make a real and positive difference to the work of the charity, and it couldn’t have come at a better time with the launch of our New Centre Fundraising Campaign. We can’t thank Persimmon Homes enough for this amazing opportunity! Thank you to all our loyal and dedicated supporters from across our community who voted for us every day, and to Rachael who worked hard against fierce competition to ensure the charity won a prestigious place in the final out of 4,000 charities and then spearheaded the winning campaign. Well done and thank you everyone! A fantastic achievement which has not only generated vital funds, but also enabled us to spread awareness to a huge audience. We are looking forward to continuing our partnership with Persimmon Homes! #PersimmonHomes #BuildingFutures
