Norwich-based Barratt and David Wilson Homes Anglia has donated £3,000 to Love Dereham, a charity dedicated to helping vulnerable people in its community and surrounding villages.
Love Dereham, established in 2011, focuses on promoting health and well-being by combatting loneliness, isolation, and food poverty.
Its initiatives include the Community Fridge, Community Lunch, Hardship Fund, and Emergency Food Parcels, all of which aim to providing essential support to vulnerable and marginalised individuals and families.
The donation of £3,000 from Barratt and David Wilson Homes will be allocated to Love Dereham’s main projects and running costs, ensuring continued support for those struggling within the community.
