The country’s largest homebuilder, Barratt Redrow, is co-sponsoring Royal British Veterans Enterprise’s (RBVE) national fundraising campaign, The Great Tommy Sleep Out, for a second year running. Over 14,500 people took part in 2025, raising an incredible £2 million to help veterans rebuild their lives, and for 2026, RBVE want to raise even more.
The Great Tommy Sleep Out is a national movement. Every March, thousands unite to brave the night, sleeping outside for one night to raise awareness and stand with veterans facing homelessness. This symbolic act raises vital funds and awareness, enabling RBVE to deliver emergency housing, mental health support, and employment pathways for those who served.
David Thomas, CEO of Barratt Redrow, says:
“Barratt Redrow was proud to sponsor The Great Tommy Sleep Out in 2025, with our teams raising an amazing £250,000 to support veterans. We are excited to do even more in 2026, and we believe the entire housebuilding sector can play a vital role in reducing veteran homelessness.”
Lisa Farmer, Chief Executive of RBVE, added:
“No veteran should face homelessness after serving their country, yet too many still need help. Funds raised through The Great Tommy Sleep Out enable veterans without a safe place to call home to get back on their feet. Barratt Redrow’s sponsorship and participation make a huge difference to the campaign’s reach and impact. We’re deeply grateful for their continued support and are looking forward to building on our fantastic relationship.”
