Local housebuilder, Barratt Developments North East has donated an amazing £1,500 to the SHINE Fund as part of the NHS 75th Anniversary this year. As part of this commemoration, and to highlight the site’s history as the former Walkergate Hospital, a vibrant NHS rainbow road crossing has been created at Sycamore Grove, honouring the invaluable contributions of healthcare professionals and acknowledging their unwavering dedication.
Sharon Brennan, Marketing Manager at SHINE commented: “We are tremendously grateful to Barratt Developments North East for their generous donation to our SHINE fund. These funds will allow us to continue our mission of providing meaningful experiences and essential resources to our service users. By supporting their well-being and quality of life, we can help them on their path to recovery and beyond.”
Carl Sobolewski, Managing Director at Barratt Developments North East, added: “We are honoured to be backing such an exceptional organisation as the Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust Charity. Their tireless efforts in improving the lives of those in need align with our commitment to creating thriving communities, and together, we can work to make a genuine and lasting impact.”
