RAF charity launches new phase at Doncaster housing development

The RAF Benevolent Fund, the RAF’s longest-standing charity, officially launched the new phase of homes at Doncaster’s Lancaster Gardens development.

RAF Benevolent Fund Community Fundraiser Rebecca Hooton joined Barratt Homes to cut the ribbon at the development in Harworth, to launch its second phase of homes.

The new phase is set to deliver a range of three and four bedroom homes for property hunters in South Yorkshire.

As well as cutting the ribbon to launch the new phase, Barratt Homes has donated £1,000 to the RAF Benevolent Fund which provides financial, practical and emotional support for current and former RAF personnel and their families.

Sarah McCullough, Director of Fundraising at the RAF Benevolent Fund, said: “Our sincere thanks to Barratt Homes for their generous donation to the Fund, which will go towards our vital work supporting serving and former RAF personnel and their families in their time of need.”

Lancaster Gardens, named after the legacy of the Avro Lancaster (Lancaster Bomber), is situated in over eight acres of open space.

Just a short walk from Harworth town centre, the development offers residents the ideal semi-rural setting to call home.

With all local amenities nearby including well-regarded schools, commuters can also benefit from excellent transport links to Doncaster and further afield via the A1M and M18.

Paul Hogan, Sales Director at Barratt Homes Yorkshire East, said: “We’re excited to launch the newest phase of homes at Lancaster Gardens. It was our pleasure to welcome Rebecca to cut the ribbon at the official launch and hope the donation will make a positive impact.

“Lancaster Gardens is already becoming a flourishing community with families and homeowners settling into the homes from the first phase. We encourage anyone looking to buy a home in Doncaster to visit the development and speak to our dedicated sales teams about available and upcoming homes.”
