Charitable organisations across the country are already benefiting from a share of Barratt and David Wilson Homes Scotland’s £63,000 Community Fund for 2026, with a dozen groups being awarded funding in the first four months of the year.

Part of the UK’s leading housebuilder Barratt Redrow, Barratt and David Wilson Homes Scotland launched the Community Fund earlier this year to support charities and community organisations delivering positive impact in the areas in which it builds.

Since the start of the year, 12 organisations across the North, East and West of Scotland have shared a total of £22,500 in funding to support their work. The funded projects span a diverse range of community initiatives, from youth development, educational and employability programmes to community hubs and health and wellbeing services, reflecting the breadth of support being delivered through the fund.

Millbank Primary Parent Teacher Association in the Scottish Highlands received £1,500 to make improvements to the school playground, enhancing the educational experience of pupils through outdoor learning and play.

Edinburgh-based catering social enterprise Scran Academy also received £1,500 to support its work providing opportunities for young people to gain meaningful work experience and skills by helping them to transition beyond the classroom and access qualifications and accreditation. 

Morton in the Community in Inverclyde received £1,500 to support its programmes across the areas of sport, education, employability and health to make a positive difference to people’s lives. The charity’s mission is to be ‘The Heartbeat of Inverclyde’ and its team of 12 staff and 124 volunteers delivers 24 projects to approximately 1,400 people aged 18 months to 100 years old each week.

Midlothian-based Mayfield and Easthouses Youth 2000 Project was also awarded £3,000 to support its youth-led initiative providing a safe and welcoming space for 11- to 21-year-olds offering fun activities, skills development and a focus on building confidence.

Alison Condie, Regional Managing Director for Barratt Redrow in Scotland, said:

“It's fantastic to see the positive impact the Barratt and David Wilson Homes Scotland 2026 Community Fund is already having on communities across the country."

The organisations we’ve supported so far are doing vital work, whether that’s encouraging healthy lifestyles, supporting mental wellbeing, or bringing people together through inclusive community initiatives to make a real difference."

“We’re committed to creating thriving, sustainable communities and we’re proud to play a part in helping these groups continue and expand their work, and we look forward to supporting many more organisations throughout the year.”

The launch of the 2026 Community Fund builds on Barratt and David Wilson Homes Scotland’s long-standing commitment to social responsibility and community engagement. The housebuilders are currently creating a range of new communities across Scotland, including Barratt Homes’ Auchinleck Village in Glasgow, David Wilson Homes @ Otter Stone Manor in Aberdeen and David Wilson Homes @ St Andrews in Fife, just a stone’s throw from world-renowned golf courses and beaches.

The Barratt and David Wilson Homes Scotland Community Fund is funded by the Barratt Redrow Foundation, the charitable arm of Barratt Redrow, which aims to help communities across the UK to thrive. Grants will be available exclusively to registered charities operating in the areas in which Barratt and David Wilson Homes build across the North, East and West of Scotland.

Applications for 2026 funding will close on 30 October 2026 with successful applicants continuing to be selected throughout the year.
