Local housebuilder David Wilson Homes has donated £1,500 to The Lord Whisky Foundation close to its The Woodlands development in Canterbury as part of its Community Fund initiative.
Based in Kent, The Lord Whisky Foundation provides refuge care for animals that have become homeless, abused or injured. The charity works to rescue, rehabilitate and care for animals in need, providing a safe environment where they can recover before being rehomed where possible.
The Lord Whisky Foundation was named in honour of a Jack Russell who joined the Sanctuary at the age of four, after having lived in six different homes. He stayed with the founder, Margaret Todd and her family until he was put to rest at the age of 22.
The £1,500 donation comes from the Community Fund initiative from the Barratt Foundation, the housebuilder’s charity partnership which aim to support and help local charities and communities wherever Barratt Redrow operates across. The fund will allow the charity to continue to provide vital care and support to animals across Kent.
Margaret Todd, founder of The Lord Whisky Foundation, commented: “Donations like David Wilson Homes’ are incredibly important to us. As a charity we continue to rely on the donations and volunteering efforts of our communities to allow us to provide shelter, care and rehabilitation for animals that have experienced neglect or abuse. The £1,500 donation will help us to continue our work caring for vulnerable animals and ensure we can continue to provide a safe space for animals that need our support.”
Natalie Perry, Sales & Marketing Director at David Wilson Kent, added: “Supporting local organisations that make a meaningful difference within our communities is an important part of what we do at David Wilson Homes. The Lord Whisky Foundation provides a very important role across Kent, and we are pleased to be able to contribute towards its ongoing work. We hope this donation will help the charity continue making a positive difference to the lives of animals while supporting its important work within the community.”
