ONE of the UK’s largest housebuilders has donated £1,000 to Drumchapel Food Bank.

The food bank received the funds from Barratt Homes West’s Community Fund to help fight against the challenges arising from unprecedented times.

Suzanne Craven, finance director at Barratt Homes West Scotland, said: “The work they’re carrying out is vital in this difficult time and local communities depend on them. We’re very pleased to help support them with these donations and look forward to helping them where we can in the future.

“Now in its second year, the Barratt Homes Community Fund has pledged to donate £1,000 each month to a charity or organisation in the West of Scotland.

“Charities are nominated by and voted for by employees of Barratt Homes and the focus for the fund continues to be on organisations that improve the quality of life for those living in the area.”
