We support Mayor of Dartford’s charity appeal
We have donated £500 to the Mayor of Dartford’s charity appeal for 2024-2025.
The donation will be used to support two Dartford-based charities, the Little Buds Special Care Baby Unit and the Lutonia 2028 Scout Hall redevelopment. Little Buds provides vital care and support for premature and sick babies born at Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust, while the Lutonia 2028 Scout Hall redevelopment is raising funds for the renovation of the hall which has been the home place of the 3rd Dartford Scout Group for almost 100 years.
Mayor of Dartford Councillor Andy Lloyd, said: “I am truly grateful for Taylor Wimpey’s generous donation to my charity appeal. The funds will support two incredibly important organisations, both of which play a vital role in the Dartford community. Additional funding for Little Buds will help them to continue to make a real difference to those who need it most, while the renovation of the scout hall will ensure the legacy of the 3rd Dartford Scouts continues for many years to come.”
Jason Stokes, Sales and Marketing Director at Taylor Wimpey South East, said: “We’re proud to support the Mayor of Dartford’s charity appeal and contribute to two such deserving causes in the borough.

Mayor officially opens new show homes
The Mayor and Mayoress of Dartford, have officially opened the new show homes at our Knights Reach development in Dartford.
Councillor Andy Lloyd and his wife Diane were special guests at Knights Reach on Tuesday 14th January, where our team guided them through the stunning new show homes, including the three bedroom Keeford and Harrton, the four bedroom Plumdale, and the two bedroom Beaford view home.
During their visit, the Mayor and Mayoress also learned about the exciting plans for the development, which will feature new play areas, an on-site healthcare centre, retail units, a Linear Parkland, and a community orchard, alongside 763 energy-efficient new homes designed to create a thriving and sustainable community.
Councillor Lloyd said: “I was delighted to open the new show homes at this exciting new development and I’d like to thank Taylor Wimpey for the invitation. It was brilliant to see how Knights Reach is progressing and to find out about the future plans for the delivery of new homes and facilities for local residents.”
Pupils design warm welcome for new Knights Reach residents
We teamed up with pupils at The Brent Primary School to design a welcome home card for new residents at Knights Reach. The winning design, created by 11-year-old Vihaan, is now given to homeowners when they receive their keys. Vihaan also received a £50 voucher as a thank you.
Vihaan said: “I was really excited to take part in the competition and I’m so happy my design was chosen as the winning entry. I hope it makes people smile when they move into their new homes.”
Jason Stokes, Sales and Marketing Director at Taylor Wimpey South East, said: “We would like to say a huge thank you to the pupils at The Brent School who got involved with our welcome home card competition. The entries were brilliant and we have displayed a selection of our favourites in the sales office at Knights Reach.
“It was tough to choose just one winner but we felt that Vihaan’s design would act as the perfect greeting for our new residents.”
Knights Reach welcomes first residents
Sheril (38), his wife Aliya (33) and their six-year-old son, Aidan, are amongst the first residents to move into a new home at this exciting new community.Having previously lived in Cutty Sark, Greenwich, Sheril and family wanted to find a home that better suited their needs in a location that complemented their lifestyle.
Sheril explains: “We had been searching for the perfect home for a while and Knights Reach stood out as the ideal choice in the right location. With easy access to Dartford railway station, Bluewater shopping centre and fairly close proximity to London, the development was a perfect fit for us.”
The family were drawn to the spacious and flexible layout of the three bedroom Aynesdale housetype. Sheril shares: “Our favourite features are the spacious living room and kitchen which both provide a beautiful view of the garden. The thoughtful design provides plenty of natural light, which creates a bright and airy feel throughout. The rooms and garden are generously sized, making the home both comfortable and inviting.”
Energy efficiency was an important factor in the family’s decision to buy a new build, as well as the reassurance of a 10-year NHBC warranty. Sheril says: “The first two years are covered by Taylor Wimpey, which gave us peace of mind.”
Sheril was impressed with the smooth and easy buying process with Taylor Wimpey. Sheril says: “Our experience was excellent. The sales team kept us informed throughout the process and guided us right up until move-in day. After we moved in, the customer relationship manager was incredibly helpful in ensuring we were settling in well and resolving any snagging issues.”
As part of their home purchase, the family also took advantage of a £14,000 deposit contribution incentive, which helped make their move possible.
Now settled into their new home, Sheril and his family couldn’t be happier with their decision to move to Knights Reach. Sheril said: “We truly believe we made the right choice with our home at Knights Reach. The build quality has exceeded our expectations, and the customer relations team has been incredibly supportive throughout the process.”
We donated over £29,000 to good causes in Kent in 2024
We supported a variety of organisations including Amber, a charity supporting young people facing homelessness, who received a £22,000 donation with funds raised during our charity golf day.

Kelly Wells, CEO for Making Miracles, said: “We are so delighted to receive this donation in our tenth year having supported over 5000 families locally. It will help us to continue to offer our services and provide bereavement care for people in their darkest moments. Thank you so much.”

We raise £22,000 at charity golf day
We hosted a charity golf day on Thursday 26th September, at Birchwood Park Golf & Country Club, raising vital funds for Amber, a charity supporting young people facing homelessness.
Amber, which runs four centres across Kent, Devon, Wiltshire and Surrey, offers homeless young people a safe place to live, along with the support they need to pursue education, training, or employment opportunities.
Our annual golf day event saw 91 participants, including staff and contractors, take part in a team-based competition which raised an impressive £22,000. The funding will support the young people at the charity’s Downsview centre in Kent, helping them to build their skills and qualifications so they can re-enter the workplace and live independently.
Last year, we raised £18,000 for the charity which was used towards provision of services and support for young people living at the charity’s Downsview centre in Ashford.
Serita Boxall, Fundraising Manager for Amber’s Downsview Centre in Kent, said: “The golf day was a tremendous success, and we are incredibly thankful for the fantastic support we have received. Some of our young people who came along to the evening were really inspired by others they met on the day. It's been a huge boost all round and we are so grateful for the continued support we receive from Taylor Wimpey and the wonderful individuals we had the pleasure of meeting at the golf day.”
Jason Stokes, Sales and Marketing Director at Taylor Wimpey South East, said: “We are delighted to continue our support of Amber for the second year. Their work with young people during difficult times is incredibly inspiring, and we hope that the money we have raised will make a real difference as these individuals take positive steps towards their future. Thank you to everyone who took part in the golf day and made it such a success.”
