The company raised £18,650 for the charity during its annual gathering of contractors and suppliers.

"It costs just £10 to help a family or individual facing the tragedy of homelessness through our free national helpline. Every penny from every donation made to Shelter Scotland goes toward helping people in housing need in Scotland."

David Scott, Managing Director for Barratt Homes West Scotland, said: "Our annual gathering for contractors and suppliers was a fantastic event, made all the more worthwhile by our efforts to raise funds for Shelter Scotland. We’re pleased to be able to support such an important organisation which makes a real difference to the lives of many people in Scotland."
