Coffee and cakes for charity!

To raise money and awareness of Macmillan Cancer Support this September, local housebuilder Barratt David Wilson Homes Yorkshire West once again got involved in the World’s Largest Coffee Morning initiative. The coffee morning, open to all, was held at its head office in Leeds, raising a fantastic total of £215 for the charity.

On 25th September, staff and visitors alike were able to purchase a piece of cake and a hot drink with all proceeds going to Macmillan, which helps people affected by cancer. The coffee morning is the latest charity event in a long list of successful fundraisers and sponsored activities held by Barratt Homes, which has currently raised over £26,000 for St Gemma’s Hospice in Leeds.

Ian Ruthven, Managing Director of Barratt David Wilson Homes Yorkshire West commented:

“We’re delighted to be supporting Macmillan’s amazing coffee morning initiative as they do amazing work helping those affected by cancer. Last year the charity raised over £25 million and we hope that the money we raise goes in some part to making this year the best to date!”
