Barratt Redrow Southern Counties contributed over £41 million to benefit communities across the South East last year, according to its latest Socio-Economic Footprint report.
This includes £31.9m expenditure on physical works benefitting local communities: highway and environmental improvements, affordable homes and community facilities in the region.
The housebuilder made a further £9.8m contribution in support of community and social infrastructure through planning and government schemes, with the launch of new parks, playgrounds and schools, providing 152 school places for children in the area.
The annual report highlights the social and economic impact of Barratt Redrow’s Southern Counties division on people, places and nature in the areas surrounding its housing developments in East Sussex, West Sussex, Kent and Surrey.
Over £100,000 was donated directly to local charities, including foodbanks, community groups and ecological charities, with employees contributing over 349 hours volunteering throughout the year.
With a commitment to enhancing biodiversity across its developments, Barratt Redrow Southern Counties also opened 20.8 hectares of public open space and private gardens – equivalent to 29 football pitches of green space.
Over 180 features for nature were also installed in 2025, including bat boxes, bug hotels and the creation of hedgehog highway routes.
Mark Vanson, sales and marketing director at Barratt Redrow Southern Counties, said: “We are proud to invest in the communities that surround our developments across the region, through the delivery of new homes, community infrastructure and by supporting important local charities and groups financially and by volunteering.
“We are committed to prioritising people and wildlife, by building with ecology in mind to create biodiverse and nature-rich housing developments.
“We’re looking forward to unveiling new developments in 2026, while also continuing to work closely with local communities across the region.”
