We give Queensferry RNLI a further boost

At the launch of our Hawthorn Gardens development in South Queensferry, we teamed up with the Royal National Lifeboat Institution to donate £25 for each new home sold and legally completed. The latest tranche of £1,075 was donated this month, which brings the overall total to £5,000 paid so far. This is over 50% of the total pledged to RNLI of £9,500, with all money going directly to the local Queensferry RNLI Lifeboat Station.

Saving lives at sea

The donation recognises the long-term relationship that has been established between ourselves and the RNLI with the money contributing towards the amazing life-saving services the Queensferry RNLI Lifeboat Station provides. The charity is 95% operated by volunteers and funded by voluntary donations. This donation contributes to the necessary funds to make this achievable and will help with the RNLI’s overall aim of saving lives at sea.

The RNLI has a vital role within the community of Queensferry, and the local lifeboat station covers the Firth of Forth with its B-class Atlantic 85 lifeboat – one of the fastest in the RNLI fleet. The crew members are dedicated to keeping the local community safe and they have received three RNLI medals for gallantry.

Commenting on the support that they have received, Adele Allan, Queensferry RNLI Lifeboat Press Officer said: 
“We are extremely grateful for the support that we continue to receive from Taylor Wimpey East Scotland, and we cannot thank them enough for their latest donation. The funds they have donated to date equates to kitting out two inshore lifeboat crew members in full personal protective equipment such as drysuit, helmet, and lifejacket.   The money they have and continue to donate will be used locally at Queensferry Lifeboat Station, allowing it to continue to provide our 24/7 lifesaving service and achieve our overall goal of saving lives at sea.”
