ESSENTIAL food items and gift packages have been donated to two Warrington charities by Barratt and David Wilson Homes North West.

The homebuilder provided a range of food and toiletry items for volunteers to distribute at Warrington Foodbank over the festive period.

The company then donated a range of presents for residents at St Rocco’s Hospice, including chocolates, biscuits and gift sets.

Philippa Stewart, head of sales at Barratt and David Wilson Homes North West, said: “As a leading homebuilder, we like to lead the way, not only in the quality of homes that we build, but in the support and contributions to the local communities in which we build.
