Barratt's dedication to helping local communities is truly inspiring. Over the past year, not only have they have helped hundreds of families who might otherwise have struggled to get support but they have also volunteered their time. Some of the ways Barratt’s have supported us include:

• A charity golf day fundraiser
• Donation of a community fund of £1,500 which helped fund up to 100 hours of childcare. Click here to read a press release about the donation 
• Multiple volunteering days to maintain our garden area which has made it safer and more pleasant for our families throughout the year
• Team member, Ben Allan, raised £2,500 by climbing Mount Everest! This was then added to by Barratt's making Ben's total fundraising total £3,500!  Click here to read more about Ben's amazing feat 
• Christmas Selection Box and Easter Egg donations for families struggling with the cost of living
• Celebrating 'Random Acts of Kindness Day' by donating 50 cupcakes. Click here to find out more about this delicious donation!
• Office quiz fundraising

Demand for our services are increasing drastically from families with children who have additional needs, disabilities and life-limiting conditions and they may feel isolated or in crisis. Donations from companies such as Barratt's allow us to continue to be there for these families and reach many more by funding vital services, taking some of the weight off of families who feel they have no where to turn. Barratt's donation of £1,500 went towards funding of up to 100 childcare hours, meaning we are able to continue providing support where it's needed most.

Christmas is around the corner and it may not be the most joyful season for families who have children with additional needs, disabilities and life-limiting conditions. We believe Christmas should be an enjoyable time - everybody deserves to receive something special and we need support to make sure no one feels forgotten.  Last year, Barratt's collected selection boxes and donated Christmas gifts that were given out at our annual Christmas party or delivered to the children who are unable to leave their home due to complex needs. Barratt's helped us spread Christmas cheer and there were many happy faces!

We are very excited to see what the next chapter brings and how we can help more children with this partnership!
