Leading developer Barratt and David Wilson Homes Anglia has announced the successful completion of its year-long fundraising campaign for its Charity of the Year.
From January 2024, the housebuilder has hosted numerous events in support of St Martins and has now presented a cheque of £16,591, which also included match-funding from its parent company.
The leading housebuilder hosted numerous fundraising events for its employees to participate in. These included a charity golf day that raised over £13,000, as well as several events at its head office, such as a bake sale, games tournament, and an afternoon tea event. Additionally, a team of volunteers from Barratt and David Wilson Homes, alongside two garden specialists, transformed one of St Martins’ gardens, to create a liveable and welcoming space for those accessing the charity’s vital services.
Dr Jan Sheldon, Chief Executive at St Martins, said: “We are immensely grateful to the team at Barratt and David Wilson Homes. They have raised an amazing amount of money for St Martins Housing Trust throughout the year.
“The team has also donated building materials, which has helped to save charity funds and kept us informed and involved with all their activities. It’s been a great year, and we are truly grateful for their support.
“St Martins Housing Trust provides more than just a home for the homeless in Norwich and Norfolk. These fundraising efforts allow us to provide essential support alongside good quality housing. Our focus is to help people recover from the trauma of homelessness, and this donation will undoubtedly transform lives.”
Simon Wood, Managing Director at Barratt and David Wilson Homes Anglia, said: “We’ve thoroughly enjoyed fundraising for St Martins Housing Trust throughout 2024. Not only have we had fun along the way, but we’ve raised a fantastic amount of money for this worthwhile cause.
“The charity’s dedication to offering life-changing services for individuals in need is truly commendable, and we are honoured to have had the opportunity to contribute.
“We’re incredibly proud of everyone in the team who supported our fundraising efforts, and we hope everyone involved enjoyed the memorable events we have hosted in support of this charity.”
