ST Vincent’s Hospice in Johnstone has benefited from a £2,500 donation from Taylor Wimpey West Scotland’s staff and charities committee.

The housebuilder also used its expertise to help with a refurbishment of the staff kitchen and washroom to provide better facilities for the team providing care at the hospice

St. Vincent’s Hospice in Howwood, Renfrewshire provides access to care and support to everyone living with a life-limiting illness in Renfrewshire and North Ayrshire. The hospice has an eight-bed in-patient unit with a multi-disciplinary team to offer the best care it can. Services include day hospice support with symptom management and community nurse specialists to provide care and support at home.

Emma Donald, community, corporate & event manager, said, “We are so grateful to the team at Taylor Wimpey West Scotland for all of their continued support of the hospice. The work the team have done in our staff kitchen and washroom is fantastic and has made such a difference. The generous donation of £2,500 will go towards the vital funds needed to allow us to provide meaningful, specialist care to our patients and families when they need it the most.”

David Blair, MD for Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, added, “We have been supporting St Vincent’s Hospice for many years now, and we continue to be very proud of the way our staff come together to show their support of this incredible charity.”
