Tina Tolley, Head of Business and Donor Development at Heartbeat, said: “We have a great relationship with Barratt. They have supported us for a long time and we’re delighted that they will continue to do so throughout the coming year. Heartbeat relies on the generous donations and fundraising activity of businesses like Barratt Homes, and we couldn’t be more grateful.” Home-Start Portsmouth is a local community network of trained volunteers and expert co-ordinators who help families with young children cope with the stresses and strains of life, ensuring they have the skills, con dence and strength they need to nurture their children. “We’ve always been grateful for Barratt’s help and support, and we are delighted to be chosen as one of its charities of the year for 2024/25,” said Natasha Solanki, Fundraising and Communications Manager at Home-Start “Times are really tough for families right now and without the support of organisations like Barratt, we would not be able to make sure the early years count for every family so that no child’s future is limited.” James Dunne, Managing Director of Barratt Homes Southampton Division, said: “We are delighted to be able to continue our support for these two brilliant local charities. Our Community Fund is dedicated to helping local causes that improve the quality of life for those living in the region.” Barratt Homes Charities of the year
