Local housebuilder, Barratt Homes supported the Bridlington community charity with a £500 donation towards its annual Christmas gift drive.
Based at Crown Community Centre just five minutes from Barratt Homes’ The Sands development, the charity has been working tirelessly since 2008 to reach members of the community facing deprivation. The Hinge Team supports residents through times of crisis, giving them resources and support to improve their situation through a greater sense of community spirit.
The charity has been hosting an annual Christmas gift drive throughout the festive season for the last five years, where they call out to the community to donate new or unopened toys and gifts for the less fortunate residents living in the area. All donations are then wrapped and distributed to those in need by The Hinge.
As donations are for children and adults, Barratt Homes £500 donation will go towards purchasing toys and gifts for specific age groups that haven’t received enough donations that can be fulfilled by The Hinge.
Megan Robinson, Operations Manager for The Hinge, said:
“We are extremely grateful to Barratt Homes for their generous donation to The Hinge at our busiest time of the year.
“We engage with a variety of families that need a range of support during difficult times, and we’re so pleased that with donations like Barratt Homes’ that we can give them a Christmas gift each year.”
Speaking on the donation, Leonie Gilbertson, Sales Manager at Barratt Homes’ The Sands development, said:
“As a local housebuilder, it’s important to us to contribute to the wellbeing and support of people within the community that we are building.
“The Hinge has been a fantastic amenity for residents around Bridlington for more than 16 years with their Christmas gift drive being one of the most important outreaches to the community throughout the year.
“We’re so proud to be able to donate to The Hinge to make sure that every member of the families they support receive a gift this Christmas.”
