Zoe Tatham, Business Manager at Northampton Domestic Abuse Service, said: “It was a lovely surprise when David Wilson Homes got in touch to say we’d been chosen to receive this donation. Generosity like this allows our charity to go the extra mile to provide wrap around support packages for our clients.
“Our experience and statistics tell us that women are the main victims of domestic abuse, and as such much of our work is supporting women. However, we have helped and continue to support all victims and survivors of domestic abuse regardless of gender, ethnicity, socio-economic status, sexual orientation or religion.
“David Wilson Homes’ Community Fund scheme is a great initiative to help many charities like us, and it’s wonderful to see large companies giving back to local communities.
