Commenting on the initiative, Darren Farnan, Marketing Manager at Braidwater Group, highlighted the importance of community support:
“Our founder, Patrick McGinnis, established Braidwater over 50 years ago with a strong belief in giving back to the communities where we build, and that principle continues to guide our business today.
“The organisations we are supporting make a meaningful difference within the areas we serve, and we are delighted to be able to contribute to their important work.
“This Christmas support builds on a year of charitable giving across Ballyclare, Belfast, Castlerock, Derry, Limavady and Strabane, where we have backed a wide range of community and sporting groups, all deserving of recognition.
“We would also like to sincerely thank our staff, subcontractors, and suppliers for their generosity and support throughout the year.”
For over five decades, Braidwater has been committed to delivering homes of quality, character, and value. Alongside building homes, we remain focused on making a positive, lasting contribution to communities across Northern Ireland.
