Peterborough-based housebuilder donates PPE to hospital

Barratt Developments has donated FFP3 face masks and personal protective equipment to Stamford Hospital to help protect NHS workers on the frontline.

The Peterborough-based developer - Barratt and David Wilson Homes Cambridgeshire - collected all protective equipment and safety masks from its active developments across the county in order to support the hospital.

As well as donating the FFP3 face masks and items of PPE, the national developer also donated 400 defibrillators to St John Ambulance and Barratt Developments has contributed £100,000 to the NHS Charities Together appeal.

Adam Knight, managing director at Barratt and David Wilson Homes Cambridgeshire, said: “This opportunity to donate much-needed equipment directly to the NHS is something we are all proud of. We also want to encourage other businesses to use the resources they have to donate to and support our crucial NHS services”

“Stamford Hospital plays a hugely significant role to the local community and during these uncertain times, we are contributing as much help as we can.”

This donation comes as part of the housebuilders' efforts to support the country in a whole host of ways.

Luke Shepperson, marketing manager of Barratt and David Wilson Homes Cambridgeshire has completed a string of voluntary work - some of which included shopping and picking up prescriptions for vulnerable people.

Luke said: “This year has created some unprecedented challenges. While it may be a difficult time for many, now is a time to pull together. Being on furlough leave, it’s important to keep as busy as possible. I was very grateful that I could spend this time helping those who needed it most.”

Barratt and David Wilson Homes is also currently offering NHS workers a 5 per cent deposit scheme on a variety of properties across a breadth of developments in Cambridgeshire.
