Following our recent fundraising event at Willow Gardens, where visitors were encouraged to ‘Go Purple’ in support of The Ayrshire Hospice, we are delighted to confirm that the fundraising target of £750 was met. Furthermore, we have added a further boost of £450, taking the total donation to £1,200.
Visitors to our idyllic Willow Gardens development in the popular North Ayrshire town enjoyed being inspired by our two show homes and free mortgage advice from an Independent Mortgage Specialist.
There was also an opportunity to meet volunteers from the hospice and support The Ayrshire Hospice’s Go Purple campaign. Everyone who came along wearing something purple generated a £25* donation to the hospice, which hosts a Living Well Hub in Kilwinning and provides care and services throughout the community.
Audrey Ross, Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, said: “Our Willow Gardens development in Kilwinning has grown to be a popular choice with a wide range of buyers looking to call this semi-rural development their home. But we don’t just build new homes; we support the communities where we build, and our recent Moving Made Easier event was an ideal opportunity for us to raise funds for The Ayrshire Hospice.
“As well as providing an incredible service for patients across the Ayrshire area from its temporary base in East Ayrshire Community Hospital, its Living Well Team offers a rolling eight-week programme of support from its hub at The Dirrans Centre locally in Kilwinning."
Chris Rodden, Director of Patient and Family Services of The Ayrshire Hospice, said: “We are extremely grateful for this support from Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, and we are thrilled they participated in our Go Purple campaign. We can’t thank them enough for their support, and I am thrilled that so many members of the local community took the opportunity to visit the development, take a look around the show homes – and, of course, entered into the fun of wearing or bringing something purple.
“We are so pleased to accept a donation of £1,200 from Taylor Wimpey’s team in Kilwinning which will be put to work locally to help us deliver a range of projects to those who need the support of The Ayrshire Hospice. On behalf of everyone who relies on our services across Ayrshire and Arran, I would like to say a huge thank you.”
