This week, we had the privilege of hosting leaders from The Barratt Foundation’s national charity partners at the new Barratt Redrow office in London.
Together, we discussed challenges, opportunities and hopes facing young people (and our partners) in 2025 and beyond – and importantly what more the Foundation can do to help.
It felt like the start of an important conversation about our high aspirations for young people, the collective desire to get them off their phones and out of their bedrooms, the magic of real-life experiences, the opportunities created by a new government – alongside the frustration of having to fund NI increases from voluntary donations. We also explored many other areas areas of shared learning and collaboration.
