HOUSEBUILDER Barratt and David Wilson Homes Yorkshire West is inviting registered charities to apply for cash aid.

But good causes have just until next Friday (August 16) to submit their applications.

Up to £1,500 is donated monthly to a different charity in communities where the firm builds.

The money is awarded through the company's charitable foundation.

Latest cash awards are for October, November and December.

Barratt and David Wilson Homes developments include Saxon Dene at Silsden and Hewenden Ridge, in Cullingworth.

Gavin Birch, managing director of Barratt and David Wilson Homes Yorkshire West, says: "We are delighted to once again be inviting nominations for our monthly community fund donations. The initiative is dedicated to supporting as many registered charities as possible. We thoroughly look forward to welcoming nominations and building relationships with incredible charities from right across the region."

Applications for funding should be emailed to lisa.williams@barratthomes.co.uk

Previous beneficiaries of the community fund have included Bradford Metropolitan Food Bank.

The volunteer-run organisation, which provides support to people in need across the district, was awarded a £1,500 donation last year.

It paid tribute to the charitable foundation for its backing, as demand for provision continued to grow due to the cost-of-living crisis.
