Donation is Taylor made for hospice

- IAN BUNTING

As part of its ongoing commitment to working in partnershi­p with local communitie­s, taylor wimpey West Scotland has made a three-figure donation to St Andrew’s Hospice.

The £500 contributi­on follows the house building company’s progress with its latest two developmen­ts in North Lanarkshir­e – pre-constructi­on work starting at Meadowside in Glenboig and the first homes launched for sale at Torrance Place, Holytown.

Since the start of the pandemic, the hospice has been providing its Hospice Hearty Meals service, which has been funded via grant funding and fundraisin­g donations.

This service provides patients and carers with a healthy two-course meal, three days a week.

Commenting on the support that it has received from Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, Lorna Mccafferty of St Andrew’s Hospice told the Advertiser: “On behalf of the patients and families that the hospice helps to care for and support we would like to thank Taylor Wimpey West Scotland for their generous donation of £500, which will be used to purchase two outdoor benches for our patients attending our outpatient­s and wellbeing services, and a gazebo for outdoor activities.”

Audrey Ross, sales and marketing director at Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, added: “We are delighted to be able to support St Andrew’s Hospice and the incredible service that it provides to the local community of North Lanarkshir­e with this donation.

“Being able to work with local businesses and organisati­ons that surround our developmen­ts means a great deal to us and it’s great to know that we are making more contributi­ons that go directly to making a difference to the lives of people in local communitie­s.”

Taylor Wimpey’s donation to the hospice is one of the many contributi­ons being made by the house builder across the wider area.
