With the cost-of-living crisis still ongoing, people are using foodbanks more than ever, and workers at the leading housebuilder have been doing their bit to help. A donation box for Romsey Foodbank has been set up at Barratt’s headquarters in Hedge End, and colleagues have been contributing in their droves. Romsey Foodbank provides three to seven days’ worth of nutritionally balanced food to around 500 people in need every year, and Beth Tanton, Operations and Centre Manager, said: “Along with other foodbanks in the country, we are working to ensure that no one goes hungry. The donations we’ve received from Barratt employees will go to vulnerable people in the local area, and we’re really grateful.” Barratt Homes is committed to supporting organisations and individuals who need it in the communities in which it’s building. Tammy Bishop, Barratt Homes Sales Director, said: “With so many people living below the poverty line across the country, foodbanks like this one in Romsey are so important. Thanks go to all the staff who have donated supplies.” Run from the Freedom Centre in Romsey, Romsey Foodbank has been passing on food supplies to vulnerable people in the local area for nearly seven years. It relies on food donations from the community along with support from its 40-strong team of volunteers. Like other foodbanks in the UK, the organisation partners with a wide range of care professionals such as doctors, health visitors, social workers, and police, to identify people in crisis. Those referred are then issued with a foodbank voucher, which can be redeemed for three days’ emergency food. Barratt Homes is committed to supporting local causes which improve the quality of life for those living in the region. Barratt Homes supports Romsey Foodbank
