Homebuilder donated funds to help tackle poverty and isolation in Leeds
A Leeds-based charity has received a £1,500 donation from the homebuilder Redrow to continue its vital work supporting people experiencing poverty, loneliness and hardship across the city.
Redrow Yorkshire made the donation, via the Barratt Redrow Foundation, to St Vincent de Paul Society.
The charity works closely with local families, older people and vulnerable individuals, offering help with essentials such as food, clothing, household items and financial support during times of crisis.
Volunteers also visit people who may be lonely or socially isolated, providing companionship and a sense of connection within the community.
Celia Hansley-Wilkinson, fundraising and partnerships officer, said: “Barratt Redrow’s ongoing generosity makes a real, tangible difference to our work in Leeds.
“Whether through financial funding or essential donated items, their year-round support ensures we can be there for local people when they need us most. We can’t thank them enough.”
Redrow Yorkshire’s sales director Steve Jackson said: “As a local housebuilder, we are committed to supporting organisations that make a real difference in our communities.
“We are proud to contribute to a charity that provides practical support, compassion and hope to those who need it most.”
Redrow Yorkshire is currently building nearby in East Leeds at Centurion Fields. The development will feature 200 properties, with a selection of three and four-bedroom designs.
