Four vital charities in West Yorkshire have received a significant boost this festive season, thanks to generous donations organised by leading homebuilder Barratt and David Wilson Homes.
Festive Collections Bring Cheer to Local Causes
Employees at the company's head office in Leeds rallied together, donating essential items including food, clothing, and children's toys. The festive collection drive was designed to ensure that families facing hardship could still experience the joys of the Christmas period.
The four charities benefiting from this seasonal support are Rainbow Baby Bank, The Well Project, The Clothing Bank, and St George's Crypt. The initiative formed a key part of the homebuilder's commitment to going the extra mile during the season of goodwill.
Charity Impact and Community Spirit
Gavin Birch, Managing Director at Barratt and David Wilson Homes Yorkshire West, expressed his pride in the team's efforts. "Christmas is such a special time for giving, and we are proud to support these four fantastic charities in their efforts to bring festive cheer to those who need it most," he said.
Birch added, "I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who donated. It truly was heartwarming to see the collections fill up, thanks to the generosity of our amazing team."
The charities supported cover a wide range of essential community services:
- Rainbow Baby Bank: Established in 2019, it provides disadvantaged families with new and pre-loved essentials for their babies.
- The Well Project: Based in Normanton, it offers the wider community access to youth clubs, a foodbank, and other vital services.
- The Clothing Bank: Built on community spirit, it collects unwanted clothing and donates it to those most in need.
- St George's Crypt: Operating for nearly 100 years, this charity empowers people to break the cycle of homelessness and dependency.
A Commitment to Local Support
This donation drive highlights the ongoing corporate commitment to supporting grassroots organisations in West Yorkshire. By focusing on practical aid like food, clothing, and toys, the support directly addresses immediate needs during the winter months.
The collaboration between a major local employer and these dedicated charities demonstrates the powerful impact of community-focused corporate responsibility, especially during the festive period.
