Housebuilder celebrates £14,500 fundraising success for CHAT children’s respite charity

Aylesbury based charity CHAT Children’s Respite has received a donation of £10,000 from local housebuilder Barratt David Wilson Homes. The charity was chosen as housebuilder’s Charity of the Year and will receive support though various fundraising events from the housebuilder in 2022.

Staff at Barratt David Wilson North Thames recently hosted their first fundraising event for the charity – a virtual racing night. The event was hosted at Rivets Sports & Social Club on Whitehead Way and was attended by colleagues at Barratt David Wilson North Thames as well as representatives from CHAT, with a grand total of £4500 raised.

CHAT Children’s Respite helps families with children who have special needs, providing grants for families in need of a carer. The charity believes that all families should be able to take a break from their caring role, with the comfort of knowing that their child is being safely cared for. The total £14,500 donation will help support the charity’s important work.

Anthea Cass at CHAT Children’s Respite comments: “We are a very small charity, but we strive to help as many people as we can, and therefore are in constant need of support. This partnership will help to continue providing care to families that require our help so we are very grateful to Barratt David Wilson Homes for its generous donation.”

Marc Woolfe, Head of Sales for Barratt David Wilson North Thames, adds: “We are proud to support such a great cause that provides help for local families in need in Buckinghamshire, and we look forward to further fundraising events to continue to support this worthy cause.”

Barratt North Thames will also be hosting a golf and dinner day at Essendon Country Golf Club this October to raise further funds for the charity.
