Barratt David Wilson Homes South West has donated £1,500 to the Anti-Bullying Alliance.
The money will help to support the alliance's work in reaching millions of children each year, including youngsters in Wiltshire.
Anti-Bullying Alliance raises awareness of bullying and promotes kindness and inclusion in schools and communities. The £1,500 donation follows the announcement of this year’s Anti-Bullying Week campaign, taking place from Monday 10 to Friday 14 November, with the theme, Power for Good.
The campaign also includes Odd Socks Day, which celebrates what makes everyone unique.
Martha Evans, director of the Anti-Bullying Alliance, said: "One in five children experience bullying every year – it’s a serious issue that affects mental health, school attendance and long-term wellbeing.
"We are so grateful for this donation from Barratt David Wilson Homes South West which will help us bring Anti-Bullying Week to millions of children across the UK, including those living in Wiltshire.”
The charity is encouraging schools, families, and workplaces to take part in this year’s Anti-Bullying Week and Odd Socks Day to help raise further funds and awareness.
Louise Ware, sales director for Barratt David Wilson Homes South West, said: “We’re proud to support the Anti-Bullying Alliance and the important work they do in our communities.
"Their campaigns have a powerful impact, and we hope our donation helps ensure they can continue reaching the children and educators who need them most.”
The developer's work in the Swindon area currently includes building new homes with Barratt Homes Bristol in partnership with Swindon Borough Council, at Wichelstowe, one of the largest local authority joint venture agreements in the country and the South West’s boldest new developments.
It will deliver 3,000 new homes over 20 years, along with new schools and community facilities. The 250-hectare site on the southern edge of Swindon will include extensive open spaces, nature conservation areas, playing pitches and allotments. Barratt David Wilson Homes South West has recently launched a new phase at Canalside.
