BARRATT Developments Scotland has donated £10,000 to help provide support for children and adults impacted by food inequality in Dundee.

The funds will help Dundee Bairns provide nutritious meals for young people, as well as supporting other basic needs.

Genna Millar, project coordinator at Dundee Bairns, said, “Dundee Bairns is grateful to Barratt Developments for such a generous donation of £10,000 and we are absolutely delighted to have welcomed David to our base at Dudhope Castle to chat about the work that we do. The funding has come along at an especially busy time for Dundee Bairns – we are set to deliver our 7th annual summer Fun and Food programme, delivering meals and funding for activities to over 100 schools and community projects targeting some of the most vulnerable children in the city.”

David Palmer, MD at Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes North Scotland, added, “As Scotland’s leading housebuilder, with a national footprint, we’re committed to giving back to the areas in which we build. Charities like Dundee Bairns are providing vital support to families and individuals facing food poverty during a period where food prices among costs of other everyday items are increasingly rising. We’re pleased to be able to provide some support to help charities continue their life-changing work.”
