Watford-based housebuilder Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes has donated £1,500 to Carers in Hertfordshire, a specialist charity supporting carers across the region, as part of its monthly Community Fund donation.

The £1,500 donation comes from The Barratt Foundation, the housebuilder’s charity partnership, which aims to support local charities and groups wherever Barratt Redrow operates across the UK. The donation will go towards the cost of Carers in Hertfordshire’s dedicated volunteers and the services they provide to support unpaid family and friend carers, ensuring they don’t feel alone in their caring role. Services such as mentoring, welfare calls and support groups.

More than 45,000 current and former carers are registered with Carers in Hertfordshire and they have access to a range of support, including 18 hubs across the county as well as online groups.

Founded in 1995, Carers in Hertfordshire provides free services for children and adult carers and staff and volunteers work collaboratively, with and for carers, to ensure they have the support they need to keep well, informed, and heard.
