South West housebuilder donates £1,500 to local charity
A South West housebuilder is supporting a local charity with a generous donation.
Barratt Bristol, which is currently building a number of new housing developments across the region, has donated £1,500 to Jay’s Aim as part of its community chest fund.
The Newton Abbot based charity aims to raise awareness and support heart screenings for young people in the region to identify hidden cardiac conditions. As part of this, the charity provides free CPR and defibrillator training to schools and local community groups, as well as installing defibrillators in and around the local Devonshire community.
Dan Osborne, CEO of Jay’s Aim, said: “We want to say a huge thank you to Barratt Bristol for their generous donation of £1,500 – which has been hugely appreciated by the whole charity. Donations such as this allow us to continue our vital work of attempting to reduce the number of young people who die of sudden cardiac arrest in SW England.
“We will ensure that the donation is put to good use on one of the three core areas of our work: providing community public access defibrillators, CPR/defibrillator training or funding cardiac screenings. Thank you, Barratt Bristol!”
Since its launch in 2021, the housebuilder’s community chest fund has provided organisations and charities across the UK, particularly focusing on children, young people, and the disadvantaged, with financial contributions to help them thrive and continue improving the quality of life of those within the local area.
Richard Lawson, Sales Director for Barratt Bristol, said: “At Barratt Bristol, we are committed to giving back to the local community and we are proud to be supporting Jay’s Aim with this donation.
“Jay’s Aim provides an invaluable service to the local community; their commitment to spreading awareness and saving lives is truly inspiring, and we hope our donation helps the charity continue to deliver the exceptional work they do for young people across the region.”
