Local Housebuilder Donates to Support Homeless This Winter

Upon receiving the donation, Neil Davies, South Wales Regional Fundraiser at Shelter Cymru, said: “Homelessness in Wales is a bigger problem than many may think — and this is being heightened by the cost-of-living crisis.

“People from all walks of life are facing the possibility of homelessness, so we are grateful for donations of all sizes — which will enable us to advise and support the people who need it most during this difficult time.”

Huggard, Wales’ leading centre for people who are homeless and sleeping rough, has also received a £3,000 donation from Barratt’s Community Fund.
It will be used to provide practical care — such as support to tackle the causes that lead to individuals losing their homes.

Ellen Bryant, Team Leader at Huggard, said: “The winter months can be especially tough, so any donations are greatly appreciated, and go a long way towards helping people that are experiencing homelessness.

“For those sleeping on the streets, we are sometimes considered family — and we want to provide more than just a place to stay. We are determined to continue making a difference to their lives, as we have done for over 30 years — something which is made possible thanks to donations like this one.”
