We raise over £20,000 for PLANETS Cancer Charity

We have raised a remarkable £20,819 through various fundraising activities in support of PLANETS Cancer Charity which supports cancer patients across the South of England.

Supporting our communities

The funds raised will be put towards improvements for Ward D9 at the University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust. The ward will be fitted with a quiet space for difficult and private conversations as well as giving cancer patients at the hospital a place to relax and unwind away from a medical setting.  

Our Southern Counties team took part in a range of activities to raise money for PLANETS including abseiling, hosting a go karting event at Thruxton Go Karting Track, and organising a Great Gatsby Charity Evening on the HMS Warrior.

Layla Stephen, PLANETS Cancer Charity CEO, said: “It’s been a wonderful experience for us at PLANETS as we have really felt connected to the fabulous team at Taylor Wimpey over the past 12 months. We’ve had some great fun watching and even taking part in the brilliant fundraising efforts. We’ve made some new and special friendships within this amazing charity partnership. We would like to thank the whole team from the bottom of our hearts for supporting and helping us transform cancer care for local cancer patients - the fundraising will make an incredible difference.”
