Barratt Developments PLC Charitable Foundation

The Barratt Redrow Foundation (formerly Barratt Developments PLC Charitable Foundation), established in March 2020 as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, drives UK communities to thrive by supporting children, young people, and the most disadvantaged. Rebranded in 2025 following Barratt's acquisition of Redrow, it channels £4 million annually—100% from the parent company, with all core costs covered—to create national and local legacies. Its ethos emphasizes social inclusion, physical and mental health, education and opportunity, employability, homelessness alleviation, and poverty reduction, shaped by stakeholder input and aligned with corporate values of responsible leadership, employee volunteering, and measurable impact.

The foundation funds UK charities via three channels: invitation-only multi-year Impact Grants for strategic national partners tackling child hunger (e.g., Magic Breakfast, £500,000 over two years), disability mobility (Whizz-Kidz), youth development (Outward Bound), and isolation; the open Community Fund offering £1,500 unrestricted grants to local causes near Barratt Redrow sites or offices; and divisional/employee match funding. Priorities focus on youth disadvantage, education, employability, health, and poverty, with grants supporting projects, core costs, or partnerships demonstrating clear outcomes.

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities with income under £2 million; Community Fund targets small, single-area local groups, excluding nationals, CICs, or unregistered entities. Apply via online Expression of Interest for Community Fund (rolling basis, response within 6 months, one per 12 months); Impact Grants are invite-only with biannual committee meetings. It avoids funding over £2 million charities, non-theme projects, general building/renovation, or non-local Community applications. Distinctively, it prioritizes place-based philanthropy tied to construction footprints, rigorous impact assessment, and staff engagement for collaborative legacies.
