Employees working for a housebuilder in Hampshire have shown their appreciation with a £5,000 donation to Friends of PICU that provided essential support to the family of one of their employees.
Barratt Homes employee, Sales Advisor Amanda, family was helped by Friends of PICU when Amanda’s nephew, Brodie, was struck down with Strep A at the end of last year.
“They were a lifeline for Brodie,” she said. “My family weren’t thinking straight and had to carry on juggling everything, which can be a real struggle when your child is ill. They don’t know how they would have coped without Friends of PICU, and for that, we are all truly grateful.”
Amanda asked the leading housebuilder if there was a way they could show some appreciation for the charity that had got them through such a tough time. Barratt agreed and handed over £5,000 to Friends of PICU.
This is an incredible donation that is going to help so many children and families. We are so very grateful to Amanda for nominating Friends of PICU, and to Barratt Homes for their very generous support.
Anthony Dimmick, Barratt Homes Community Liaison Manager is thrilled that the housebuilder has been able to offer some financial assistance:
He said: “…Friends of PICU are providing an incredible service for people who need it in the community, and it’s wonderful to hear of the support they have given to our employee. It has been a real pleasure to hand over a £5,000 donation today.”
Barratt Homes is building new homes across Hampshire. It is committed to supporting local causes which improve the quality of life for those living in the region.
