Reside’s Commitment to Community: Annual Charity Donations Supporting Local Causes

As the year draws to a close, Reside is honoured to announce our annual tradition of giving back to the vibrant community in Bath that has welcomed and supported us throughout the year. Our commitment extends beyond property, to the people and causes that make Bath and its surrounding areas thrive.

This year, after careful consideration and heartfelt discussions, our team has chosen to support two remarkable local charities: Off The Record Bath & North East Somerset, and Bath City Farm. Both organisations encapsulate values close to our hearts, championing causes that enrich the lives of those in our community.

Off The Record is a beacon of support for the emotional wellbeing of young people. Their tireless efforts in providing free services — counseling, advocacy, youth participation, and more — have a profound impact on the lives of individuals aged 10-25. Through empowerment and guidance, they strive to ensure every young person feels confident and emotionally healthy.

Regarding this partnership, James Brown from Off The Record expressed heartfelt gratitude: “Thank you so much on behalf of all the staff, volunteers, and service users at OTR. This is a tremendous boost to our Young Futures appeal.”

Bath City Farm, with its commitment to fostering volunteering opportunities, informal education, and community engagement, embodies principles of healthy living and environmental stewardship. Alison Howell, Communication & Development Lead at Bath City Farm, shared, “This money will really make a difference to the Farm, to our animals, and to the children, young people, and adults that we support through our therapeutic programs.”

At Reside, our directors Toby Martin and Ben Bower emphasise the significance of supporting these causes. “We feel privileged to contribute to the betterment of our community,” says Toby. “Our team is proud to stand alongside these fantastic charities,” adds Ben.

This tradition of giving back is deeply ingrained in Reside’s ethos. We understand that thriving communities are built on collective efforts, and we are grateful for the opportunity to play a part.

As we conclude another year, Reside extends its heartfelt appreciation to all who have made this possible — our clients, partners, and the incredible community we proudly call home. Your support fuels our ability to give back, and for that, we are truly grateful.

Even though we didn’t end up renting a place through Reside, Chris and Lisa were so incredibly personable, helpful and welcoming. Would highly recommend and will be heading there when ready to buy. 🎉

The team at Reside could not have done more for me. They supported me throughout the whole process when at times I probably drove them mad. I am now in a lovely home and it’s very much thanks to Lisa and Emma.

My experience with Chris Gray was just perfect. An incredibly friendly individual that really did go above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. The whole experience was genuinely fun which says a lot for a process that can often be stressful! Don’t see myself moving again anytime soon but if I was to, I’d hope it’d be Chris helping me out again!

It has been a pleasure to have been able to do business with Reside Bath. Their people are highly efficient and utterly charming with it. I imagine that they can have few peers. I can recommend Reside Bath without reservation.

Reside were my letting agents for five years and were fantastic. They always looked after me and my tenants and made renting my flat stress free. I’d recommend them as the first choice for letting. I then marketed my flat for sale with them and they were great again. It was a frustrating and long process through no fault of Reside or Lisa, my agent. Lisa kept me informed throughout and was a good listener when things got tough. Thanks for getting me there! Claire

Had great service from Lisa and the team at Reside, while exploring properties in Bath. We were delighted with the flat we found. The process from viewing to moving in was extremely smooth, with Lisa resolving any queries at pace along the way.

Lisa at Reside has been absolutely amazing - we had a difficult rental search and she did everything she could to help us, finding us a wonderful flat. Recommend her and the team wholeheartedly!

Hello, and happy whatever day it is to you when you are reading this! ✨ My move to my new letting property with Reside was seamless. From the viewing, financials, help, and guidance, everything went through kindly, quickly, and with helpful attention. Chris, was especially helpful and I honestly felt prioritised as he could see how much the move meant to me due to being a dog owner. @Chris thank you again for everything, it really is much appreciated. ✨ Reside are instantly contactable and I cannot recommend them enough. I am a landlord myself, and I know the importance of such attention to detail and kindness. ✨ 10 out of 10, cannot recommend enough! ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

I contacted Lisa at Reside last week and arranged rental viewings in Bath. It was a seamless process from beginning to end. Lisa was extremely helpful and informative about the city and if I hadn't had an offer accepted on a purchase a few days later, would certainly have taken one of the properties she showed. Lisa was a breath of fresh air in addition to being professional and very knowledgeable about the local market. I can't recommend Reside or Lisa more strongly.
