Local housebuilder takes part in 'Giving Tree' initiative

Barratt Developments’ Yorkshire West division is playing Father Christmas this December and taking part in the ‘Giving Tree’ initiative to support disadvantaged children.

The ‘Giving Tree’ supports the charity KidsOut, which aims to continuously make a difference to disadvantaged children and provide presents to those not fortunate enough to receive them every year. In the lead up to Christmas, decorative tags have been placed on Barratt’s tree at its head office, with a child’s name, age and suggested gift written on. Barratt employees are being encouraged to choose a gift tag from the Giving Tree and buy a present for a child, to be collected by the KidsOut team ahead of Christmas Day.

Ian Ruthven, Managing Director Barratt Developments Yorkshire West, commented: “The ‘Giving Tree’ initiative is a fantastic idea and as Christmas is a time to bring people together and spread festive cheer, we’re very happy to be able to help KidsOut gift a number of women and children refuges in the area, where children may have otherwise not received presents this year.”

Barratt Developments Yorkshire West is currently building a selection of high quality new homes across the region. To find out more please visit: www.barrattdevelopments.co.uk
