A charity golf day arranged by Barratt Homes Northampton has raised £18,984 for its charity of the year, KidsAid.

18 teams made up of 72 golfers, including Barratt Homes’ employees and sub-contractors, took part in the tournament which was held at Collingtree Park Golf Club in Northampton.

The funds raised on the day have been donated to KidsAid, a Northampton-based charity that focusses on the prevention, healing and empowerment for children and families affected by abuse, family breakdown, illness, and bereavement through to anxiety, depression, self-harm, and suicide.

We want to express a sincere thank you; we simply could not fulfil our vital work without such invaluable contributions.”

As Barratt Homes Northampton’s charity of the year, KidsAid will benefit from a number of corporate fundraising events taking place over the year.
