The charity provides a range of housing solutions for people who are homeless, vulnerable, or at risk of homelessness, including emergency shelters and supported accommodation.
It also connects rough sleepers with essential resources, such as healthcare, through its outreach service.

Donna Ind, contracts and performance manager at Two Saints, said: “We’re very grateful to Barratt and David Wilson Homes for its donation and pleased for our residents who will benefit from its generosity.
“This donation enables us to support our clients in carrying out everyday activities that boost their self-esteem, confidence, and sense of normality, which they would ordinarily not be able to fund for themselves.
“We’d like to thank Barratt and David Wilson Homes on behalf of all our residents and staff.
“We’re able to do so much more with this donation and it will benefit our clients and further support their recovery.”
The donation was made as part of Barratt and David Wilson Homes’ Community Fund scheme via The Barratt Foundation.
