HOUSEBUILDER Barratt – which has the Vision development in Keighley – gave an £800 boost to a charity's festive appeal.

The company donated £100 to the Cash for Kids Mission Christmas project for every home reserved at schemes across its Yorkshire West division during a week-long period.

Other fundraising activities, including a bake sale and Christmas jumper day, were also staged by the firm.

And it donated festive gifts.

Mission Christmas provided disadvantaged children with presents on Christmas Day.

"We were extremely pleased to raise a significant amount for the Mission Christmas initiative with Cash for Kids as it's a very worthy cause," said Sam Wood, sales director at Barratt Homes Yorkshire West.

"Our donation helped provide local, underprivileged children with a much-needed treat over the festive period."
