Taylor Wimpey West Scotland raised over £4k for charities

The housebuilder raised the funds through its annual Taylor Wimpey Challenge, with proceeds going to St Vincent’s Hospice in Howwood and the Youth Adventure Trust (YAT).

More than 300 employees across 49 teams took part this year, completing a coastal hike in north Devon along with a series of creative and strategic challenges.

Kara Newman, sales administrator who led one of the teams, said: "The Taylor Wimpey Challenge is always a fantastic event.

"Not only does it bring together employees from across the business, but more importantly, it raises a huge amount of money for extremely worthy charities.

"This year has been no different, and I’m extremely proud of our teams in West Scotland for their effort in raising much-needed donations for the YAT and St Vincent’s Hospice."

St Vincent’s Hospice provides care and support for people with life-limiting illnesses in Renfrewshire and North Ayrshire.

YAT supports vulnerable young people through outdoor adventures.

Mark Davey, chief executive at YAT, said: "It has been another fantastic year for the Taylor Wimpey Challenge, with all of the participants embracing the activities with camaraderie and a great sense of humour.

"As always, we’re very appreciative of their efforts in support of our mission to help young people fulfil their potential and lead positive lives.

"Funding from this year’s event will make a huge difference to us and we look forward to continuing our partnership into 2027."

Now in its 12th year, the Taylor Wimpey Challenge has raised more than £1.6 million to date for the YAT, as well as other regional charities across the country.
