We are proud to announce our recent donation of £500 to support Ashton United Football Club's charity, 'Ashton United in the Community'. This contribution is part of our ongoing commitment to give back to the local community surrounding our Harts Mead development.
The donation supported a Seniors Afternoon Tea Party which was held on Wednesday 10th July. The event provided free afternoon tea for up to 50 senior residents from the local area.
The event also featured live entertainment including a 'Tony the Crooner', a raffle, bingo and a fun afternoon for all involved.
Andy Clayton, Trustee and Secretary for Ashton United in the Community, said: "We are so grateful to Taylor Wimpey for their kind funding that enabled us to hold the Tea Party. 36 of our older local residents attended the event and thoroughly enjoyed a traditional afternoon tea and a glass of "fizz" as well as the chance to meet up with friends in a safe environment for a good chat. Hopefully we can make this an annual event to compliment our Luncheon Club that runs through the winter months and make a big difference to those who otherwise would not get out of their homes."
Ashton United in the Community aims to support the work of volunteers who help to organise projects and events in Ashton-under-Lyne. By addressing local issues and offering volunteer opportunities, the charity helps tackle poverty, loneliness, poor health and unemployment.
