Our first-year ASPIRE graduates team have signed up for the Million Makers challenge and are ready to lay the foundations to secure their funding from the Prince’s Trust to start their project. Million Makers is a fundraising initiative with teams from companies across the UK competing to raise the most money for their projects, which is then donated to the Prince’s Trust supporting the great work they do. Despite last year’s restrictions, our 2019 Graduates knocked the ball out of the park, raising over £200,000 for the Prince's Trust. Our 2020 graduates have our full support – we can’t wait to see what they come up with!
This Mental Health Awareness Week, we've put on a variety of workshops and webinars for our people to better understand the role of mindfulness in combatting stress. The week provides an opportunity for our people to openly discuss all aspects of mental health and be comforted in knowing that one of our 22 trained Mental Health First Aiders will always be there to provide support.
The housebuilding industry is facing a skills gap, which means that there aren't enough people with the right knowledge and skills to meet demand as we help the country to grow back stronger.

A year ago today, the UK came together for #ClapForOurCareers in partnership with NHS Charities Together. Over the past year, we've had the incredible frontline NHS workers on our minds and have introduced various initiatives to show our appreciation. In the early months of the pandemic, we donated PPE masks to the NHS and all of our site defibrillators to St John Ambulance and St Andrew’s First Aid, alongside £100,000 for frontline NHS staff and volunteers. We also launched our NHS Deposit Contribution Scheme, giving all NHS workers a 5% deposit contribution to help them buy a new home. The scheme has already helped to save NHS workers £20 million.
Our Degree Apprenticeships are open to both future and existing employees. Dennis joined us after serving in the Armed Forces and the opportunity arose after he'd completed his level NVQ Level 4 as part of ongoing training at Barratt. His advice? Make sure you're ready to commit and be proactive in your role to allow for enough time to study.
