Property firm backs charity for ill newborns

Published on

A housebuilder has gifted £1,500 to a charity providing neonatal care for families with unwell newborn babies.

David Wilson Homes presented the contribution to the Oxford-headquartered organisation SSNAP (Support for Sick Newborn and Their Parents) via its Community Fund initiative.

The organisation, which assists over 1,000 infants and their relatives each year, is located at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford and delivers both emotional and practical help throughout the frequently challenging neonatal experience.

Emily Byrne, charity lead at SSNAP, explained that the money from David Wilson Homes would go toward the Little SSNAPlings community sessions.

These groups are provided at no cost to all families navigating neonatal care to guarantee comprehensive support.

The team expressed sincere gratitude to David Wilson Homes for this contribution.

The Little SSNAPlings sessions form a crucial element in fostering community connections and self-assurance once families have returned home.

Founded in 1982, SSNAP functions with just six employees and a board of trustees, while also backing 300 NHS neonatal workers through funding for training, courses, and educational materials.

The organisation additionally assists in acquiring vital medical equipment and technology for the neonatal unit, including specialised monitors and incubators alongside breastfeeding chairs and seating.

David Wilson Homes’ contribution was channelled through its Community Fund programme by The Barratt Redrow Foundation, which aims to assist charities of all sizes throughout the UK.

The foundation is celebrating its fifth anniversary in 2026 and has to date pledged £20 million to charitable causes, benefiting more than 2,000 organisations and directly reaching approximately 100,000 young individuals annually.

Helen Lewis, managing director at David Wilson Homes Mercia, stated that they were honoured to support SSNAP, an organisation leading neonatal care efforts that works to help people manage various difficulties while assisting the John Radcliffe Hospital in delivering the highest standard of care possible.

David Wilson Homes operates under Barratt Redrow PLC, a FTSE100 firm.

Barratt Redrow received a five-star rating for the seventeenth year running in the 2026 Home Builders Federation Customer Satisfaction Survey.

Site managers employed by Barratt Redrow collected 115 accolades for construction quality at the 2025 NHBC Pride in the Job Awards.

Barratt has earned more Pride in the Job accolades than any other housebuilder throughout the past 21 years.
