Housebuilder Raises Over £150,000 For Aberlour Children's Charity

Barratt Homes West Scotland has raised £153,000 for Aberlour Children's Charity at its annual charity dinner, attended by 600 people at Glasgow's Hilton Hotel on 21 February.

The funds will support Aberlour, Scotland's largest solely children's charity, in its mission to tackle poverty and discrimination and assist disadvantaged children and families. The charity provides a range of services, including residential and foster care, addiction recovery support, assistance for disabled children, financial relief, and early intervention programs.

SallyAnn Kelly OBE, Chief Executive at Aberlour Children's Charity, expressed her gratitude: "This is a mind-blowing donation from Barratt Homes West Scotland and will truly make a difference to the families and children we help. The sum is so generous and we want to thank every single person who contributed. Our tailored services help every young person be the best they can be, and this money will give them the opportunity to overcome significant challenges in life. We couldn't have raised this cash without the help of the Barratt West Scotland team and we can't thank them enough."

We'll continue to provide help where we can and want to thank everyone who played a part in raising this money, without you it wouldn't be possible."
