A community group has received a £1,500 donation to help continue its vital work.

Whitchurch Neighbourcare, based in Hampshire and part of the Good Neighbours Network, supports residents by providing transport to medical appointments and collecting prescriptions for those unable to do so themselves.

The funding was donated by Barratt David Wilson Homes.

Carol Clark, chairman of Whitchurch Neighbourcare, said: "We provide an invaluable service to the older, vulnerable and less able residents of Whitchurch, and we rely solely on grants and donations to keep running.

"This generous donation from Barratt David Wilson Homes is hugely appreciated.

"A big thank you from all of us here."

The group is one of more than 120 volunteer-led organisations in the Good Neighbours Network, all dedicated to supporting their communities.

Barratt David Wilson Homes, currently building new homes across Hampshire, said it is committed to supporting nearby causes that improve residents’ quality of life.

Megan Hamlyn, marketing manager at Barratt David Wilson Homes Southampton Division, said: "We want to show our support for organisations in the communities where we are building.

"Whitchurch Neighbourcare provides a fantastic service for local people, and it’s been an absolute pleasure to help."
