We have donated a fun day out at Paradise Wildlife Park to St Michael’s School Christmas Fayre raffle as part of our ongoing commitment to giving back to the communities local to our developments.

The Christmas Fayre took place on the 25th November to raise money for the costs of day-to-day essentials at the school, such as tablets for each class which will enable inclusive education and familiarity with technology from an early age. We donated a £119 Paradise Wildlife Park voucher raffle prize, which will cover the cost of tickets for two adults and three children.

Jamie Dormandy, Chair of the PTA at St Michael’s School’s Parent-Teacher Association, said: “We’d like to thank Taylor Wimpey for the generous contribution to our Christmas Fayre raffle. With the generosity of local businesses and our corporate partners, our event raised £4,000 of vital funds towards our school. At a time where school budgets are seriously constrained, PTA funds are no longer reserved for ‘nice to haves’ and treats for the school; they provide for day-to-day essentials. The opportunity for a family to win tickets to Paradise Wildlife Park was undoubtedly a big draw for people to buy tickets and the winner, Charlie Barnish, was delighted to receive the voucher.”

Jason Turner, Site Manager at Taylor Wimpey North Thames said “We’re so pleased to hear that St Michael’s fundraising event was such a huge success. We hope Charlie has a fantastic day seeing the exciting range of exotic animals and dinosaur attractions at Paradise Wildlife Park.”
