The housebuilder’s annual charity dinner was held at Glasgow’s Hilton Hotel on Friday 21st February, with this year’s proceeds going to Aberlour Children’s Charity – an organisation that tackles poverty and discrimination to help disadvantaged children.

Scotland’s largest solely children’s charity offers care and support to families as early as possible, including residential and foster care, recovery for those affected by addiction, support for disabled children, financial relief to families struggling to provide food, heating and clothing as well as early intervention to prevent troubles deepening.

SallyAnn Kelly OBE, chief executive at Aberlour Children’s Charity, said: “This is a mind-blowing donation from Barratt Homes West Scotland and will truly make a difference to the families and children we help. The sum is so generous and we want to thank every single person who contributed. Our tailored services help every young person be the best they can be, and this money will give them the opportunity to overcome significant challenges in life. We couldn’t have raised this cash without the help of the Barratt West Scotland team and we can’t thank them enough.”

Suzanne Craven, finance director and head of charity committee at Barratt Homes West Scotland, said: “Aberlour Children’s Charity is a fantastic organisation, helping thousands of families in need across Scotland. Operating for over 150 years, we are proud to support the team and hope our donation will make a difference to those who really need it. We’ll continue to provide help where we can and want to thank everyone who played a part in raising this money, without you it wouldn’t be possible.”

Barratt Homes West Scotland is keen to add value to the communities in which it operates. Whether that is through charitable contributions, access to work placements or health and safety tours in schools neighbouring its developments, the housebuilder remains committed to having a high quality social, environmental and economic impact on local communities.
