A North West homebuilder has made a donation to a cancer charity in Preston.

Barratt Homes has made a £1,500 donation to CancerHelp Preston to help those dealing with a cancer diagnosis.

Croston House, a CancerHelp support centre in Garstang, will use this donation to contribute to the refurbishment they are currently undergoing.

Barratt Homes’ donation will be used to purchase two armchairs, three coffee tables, and mirrors for the new, calm, and relaxing lounge area.

Jeanette Smalley, General Manager at CancerHelp Preston, said: “Donations from organisations like Barratt Homes are so important to our charity as they enable us to improve the environment and the facilities where those services are offered to people on a cancer journey.

“Having a peaceful and welcoming environment has a positive impact on both clients and members of staff. Feedback on the current refurbishment is already very positive and, at CancerHelp, we know that the contribution from Barratt Homes will add greatly to this.”

The contribution by the homebuilders was made as part of The Barratt Foundation, designed to support national and local charities.

CancerHelp supports people living with cancer through different methods of therapies and improves the quality of life for them and their families and carers.

Rhys Nicholson, Managing Director at Barratt Homes Manchester, said: “Barratt Homes is proud to support CancerHelp Preston and to help create an environment where people going through the worst experience of their lives can find comfort and a brief respite.

“We hope that CancerHelp Preston can continue to provide life-changing assistance to those struggling with Cancer throughout Preston and that other people will be encouraged by our donation also to get involved and help out this fantastic cause.”
