A HOUSEBUILDER is doing its bit to help Ukrainians caught up in Putin’s invasion of the European country.
The Barratt Foundation has given £50,000 to the Red Cross, via The Sun newspaper’s appeal.
The donation from Barratt Developments – parent company of Barratt and David Wilson Homes – will help efforts inside the country, and also at its borders, in a bid to ease the suffering of those caught in the conflict.
David Thomas, chief executive of Barratt Developments and a trustee of the Barratt Foundation, said: “We’ve all been affected by the distressing news from Ukraine.
“We are happy to donate to support the vital work the Red Cross is doing to ease suffering and helping families.”
The donation has been welcomed by Mike Adamson, the chief executive of British Red Cross, who said: “It will help us reach people with food, water, medicine, medical equipment and other essentials. We thank you for your kind support.”
Last year, the foundation gave £4.5 million in grants, and it has been set up to build strong community relationships and ensuring it creates a positive legacy that helps local communities to thrive.
