As Scotland kicks off a landmark year of sport, charitable organisations across the country are invited to apply for a share of a £63,000 fund from Barratt and David Wilson Homes. The newly launched 2026 Community Fund will support groups which promote healthy and active lifestyles, with funding of £1,500 provided to each organisation.
Part of the UK’s leading housebuilder Barratt Redrow, Barratt and David Wilson Homes Scotland has launched its 2026 Community Fund, with a yearly focus on supporting healthy, active communities and delivering lasting, positive impact in the areas where they build new homes.
Through targeted financial support, the £63,000 fund will back organisations that aim to strengthen communities by improving wellbeing and creating opportunities for local residents. By funding these initiatives, the Community Fund seeks to make a tangible difference to the lives of local people.
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. Supported projects can include sports, physical activity and youth programmes, inclusive fitness initiatives, youth sports and coaching projects, improvements to local playgrounds and recreational facilities, walking or cycling trails and health and wellbeing activities that encourage people of all ages to lead more active lives.
Alison Condie, Regional Managing Director for Barratt Redrow in Scotland, said:
“At Barratt and David Wilson Homes Scotland, we’re committed to building more than just homes - we want to create thriving, sustainable communities. With Scotland preparing to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games and the national team heading to the FIFA World Cup, this fund is about supporting organisations that inspire healthier, more active lifestyles and make sport and physical activity accessible to everyone."
“Our 2026 Community Fund will help support the fantastic work already taking place across the country, enabling local groups to deliver projects that make a real difference to people’s lives.”
The launch of the 2026 Community Fund builds on Barratt and David Wilson Homes’ long-standing commitment to social responsibility and community engagement and reflects the excitement around Scotland’s upcoming sporting calendar.
The housebuilders are 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 2026 Community Fund is funded by the Barratt Redrow Foundation, the charitable arm of Barratt Redrow. Its mission is to help communities across the UK to thrive.
Applications for 2026 funding will close on 30 October 2026 with successful applicants selected throughout the year.
