Fundraising success for Autism Anglia
Barratt and David Wilson Homes Anglia has raised more than £44,000 for Autism Anglia following a year and a half of fundraising activities. The Norwich-based housebuilder selected the charity as its primary fundraising focus between January 2025 and June 2026.
Staff across the business took part in a variety of creative and community-focused events to support the cause. Fundraising initiatives included a quirky shirt day, an afternoon tea event, and a charity golf day at Barnham Broom Golf Club.
Community events and final volunteer day
The energetic team also hosted an It's a Knockout event at Wymondham Rugby Club. Further events included a Halloween-themed Kitchen of Horrors, a charity car wash, and a delicious Easter bake sale.
The dedicated team successfully raised a total of £44,618 for the charity. They marked the end of their campaign by volunteering at the charity's residential home in Dereham, where they helped transform a beautiful summer house in the garden.
