Barratt David Wilson Homes South West, which has developments across South Gloucestershire, has donated over £44,000 to charities in the South West last year.

Each year the housebuilder donates funds to charities and organisations across the region as part of its commitment to create positive legacies in the communities where it builds.

Amongst those that received help from the housebuilder over the past 12 months includes Grief Encounter which supports bereaved children and young people.

The Knowle-based charity received funding to help them provide professional one-to-one bereavement support to youngsters that have suffered the loss of a parent or sibling.

Hannah Wozniak, Grief Encounter’s fundraising manager, said: “We don’t receive any government funding and rely solely on the support and donations of people and businesses in the local community.

"This is why donations such as the one we’ve received from David Wilson Homes are critical to enable our team of counsellors to do what they do best and that’s provide a lifeline for bereaved families navigating their own journeys through grief.”

Louise Ware, sales director for Barratt David Wilson Homes South West, added: “We are proud to have supported so many charities over the past year. They all work tirelessly to improve the lives of those in need and we hope our donations will allow them to continue to support as many people as possible. We look forward to continuing with our charity initiatives throughout 2023.”

Every month, each Barratt David Wilson Homes division can donate £1,500 to a local concern that works to improve the quality of life for those living in their area.

Barratt David Wilson Homes South West, is currently building new housing across South Gloucestershire at Ladden Garden Village development in Yate and Morton Meadows in Thornbury.
