The developers behind the new Hayne Farm estate in Honiton have pledged to donate money to Hospiscare every time they sell a home.
The development is on the outskirts of Honiton in Gittisham and £100 will go to Hospiscare for every home that is sold.
Baker Estates handed over their first cheque of £500 this week to the charity which helps people living with a life-limiting illness.
Hospiscare CEO Andrew Randall said: “We are incredibly grateful to Baker Estates for supporting Hospiscare in this way.
“We need support more than ever as we are facing a £1 million plus deficit this year due to the impact of Covid-19 on our income streams.
