The donation was made by the Barratt Developments Plc Charitable Foundation which supports national and local charities, large and small, across the UK to leave a legacy in the communities in which the housebuilder operates.
It will help us in our vital work to support up to 42 people who have experienced homelessness by giving them a home and meaningful work in our social enterprise of three shops and bistro.
Trustee Dean Bourke said: “We were delighted and felt extremely grateful for this generous donation from Barratt and David Wilson Homes. We rely entirely on the generosity of others to continue our vital work ending homelessness for vulnerable people, so this donation means so much to so many.
“Barratt and David Wilson Homes’ Community Fund scheme is a wonderful initiative which makes such a big impact on charities, especially during these tougher times for people financially. The money we have received will be used for much-needed maintenance work to our community buildings.
“We would like to offer Barratt and David Wilson Homes our most sincere thank you. The whole community here at Emmaus Village Carlton will benefit from this generous donation which will enable us to continue supporting people affected by homelessness.”
Barratt and David Wilson Homes Northampton are building new homes in Bedfordshire at Willow Grove in Wixams.
Simon Francis, Managing Director at Barratt and David Wilson Homes Northampton, said: “As a leading housebuilder we strive to support the communities in and around the areas in which we build and we’re delighted to be able to offer Emmaus Village Carlton a donation to support the fantastic work it does.
“Our homeless communities deserve to be treated with care and respect, and Emmaus Village Carlton continue to provide vital services which vulnerable people rely on.”
