A Renfrewshi­re hospice has received a donation of over £700 from a local housebuild­er.

At the launch of its developmen­t for sale in Paisley, Taylor Wimpey West Scotland teamed up with the Accord Hospice in Paisley to donate £25 for each new home sold and legally completed at its new developmen­t at Hawkhead Gardens in Paisley.

The latest tranche of £775 was donated by Taylor Wimpey West Scotland this month – taking its overall donation to date to £4,600 – which is around 88 per cent of the total grand sum of £5,250 that will be paid to Accord.

This latest donation recognises the ongoing relationsh­ip between Taylor Wimpey West Scotland and the Accord Hospice, which is located within just a few minutes’ drive from its local Hawkhead Gardens developmen­t.

The money continues to contribute towards the hospice’s ongoing mission to provide palliative and end-of-life care to people living with or affected by a life-limiting illness in Renfrewshi­re and parts of East Renfrewshi­re.

Audrey Ross, sales and marketing director at Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, told the Express: ”We are delighted to continue our support of the local Accord Hospice.

“Our latest donation of £775 takes our total donation to date to £4,600.

“It represents our ongoing relationsh­ip with this essential local charity and service that provides a link between our new community at Hawkhead Gardens and the existing community of Paisley.

“Working with the Accord Hospice is a real honour, and we are extremely proud to continue to show our support in this way.

“Being able to work with local charities and organisati­ons that surround our developmen­ts means a great deal to us, and it’s always lovely to know that we are helping to make a difference to the lives of people in our local communitie­s.”

Commenting on the support from Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, Vanessa Robinson, senior fundraiser from Accord, added: “We are extremely grateful for the support that we continue to receive from Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, and we can’t thank them enough for their ongoing support of our work.

“Since 2019, their donations have been put to work locally to help us achieve the overall aim of our service to the local community.

“On behalf of everyone at Accord, I would like to say a huge thank you.”

Taylor Wimpey West Scotland’s donation to the hospice is one of the many contributi­ons being made by the housebuild­er towards community facilities and infrastruc­ture which is in the wider area.
