David Wilson Homes has donated £1,500 to The Lord Whisky Foundation, a charity based in Kent that provides refuge care for homeless, abused, or injured animals. The donation was made through the housebuilder's Community Fund initiative, which is part of the Barratt Foundation, the charity partnership of Barratt Redrow. The contribution was directed to the charity close to David Wilson Homes' The Woodlands development in Canterbury.
Supporting Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation
The Lord Whisky Foundation, named after a Jack Russell who joined the sanctuary at four years old after living in six different homes, works to rescue, rehabilitate, and care for animals in need. The charity provides a safe environment where animals can recover before being rehomed where possible. The foundation's namesake, Whisky, stayed with founder Margaret Todd and her family until he was put to rest at 22 years old.
The £1,500 donation will enable the charity to continue providing essential care and support to animals across Kent. The Community Fund initiative aims to support local charities and communities wherever Barratt Redrow operates, and this contribution is part of that broader effort.
Charity Founder Highlights Importance of Donations
Margaret Todd, founder of The Lord Whisky Foundation, expressed gratitude for the donation. "Donations like David Wilson Homes' are incredibly important to us. As a charity we continue to rely on the donations and volunteering efforts of our communities to allow us to provide shelter, care and rehabilitation for animals that have experienced neglect or abuse," she said. "The £1,500 donation will help us to continue our work caring for vulnerable animals and ensure we can continue to provide a safe space for animals that need our support."
Natalie Perry, sales and marketing director at David Wilson Kent, added: "Supporting local organisations that make a meaningful difference within our communities is an important part of what we do at David Wilson Homes. The Lord Whisky Foundation provides a very important role across Kent, and we are pleased to be able to contribute towards its ongoing work. We hope this donation will help the charity continue making a positive difference to the lives of animals while supporting its important work within the community."
Impact on Local Community
The donation underscores the housebuilder's commitment to supporting local causes. Through the Community Fund, David Wilson Homes has been able to assist various organisations, and this latest contribution to The Lord Whisky Foundation will directly aid the charity's mission to care for vulnerable animals. The foundation continues to rely on community support to sustain its operations, and this funding will help ensure that animals in need receive the shelter and rehabilitation they require.
