TAYLOR Wimpey West Scotland has continued its support of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) with the pledge to donate £25 for each new home sold and legally completed at its two new developments at Princess Gate and Queens Court in Troon.
The latest tranche of £475 was paid to the charity this month, which brings the overall donation paid so far to £5,350 and almost reaching the total grand sum of £5,650 that has been pledged to the RNLI – with all money going directly to the local Troon RNLI Lifeboat Station.
Taylor Wimpey West Scotland said that the donation recognises the ongoing long-term relationship between itself and the RNLI, with the money contributing towards the life-saving services the Troon RNLI Lifeboat Station provides.
The RNLI has a vital role within the community of Troon, and the local lifeboat station covers the lower Firth of Clyde with its two lifeboats. The station at Troon has been in existence for 150 years, and the crew members are dedicated to keeping the local community safe. They have received three RNLI medals for gallantry, as well as a recent RNLI chief executive’s commendation for a rescue in June 2022.
Commenting on the continuing support that it receives from Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, Jean Shields, RNLI Troon VP, said, “We are extremely grateful for the ongoing support that we continue to receive from Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, and we can’t thank them enough for the latest donation, which takes us closer towards the grand total they pledged. This money will be put to work locally to help us achieve the overall aim of our service to the local community. On behalf of everyone at Troon RNLI, I would like to say a huge thank you.”
Audrey Ross, sales and marketing director at Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, added, ”We are delighted to mark our ongoing support of the RNLI at its Troon Lifeboat Station in this way. Our donation of £5,350 to date reflects our long-term relationship with this essential local charity and service that provides a link between the growing new community at our local developments, and the existing community of Troon. Working with the RNLI is a real honour and we are extremely proud to be delivering on our overall commitment to them for the duration of our build period in Troon.
“Being able to work with local charities and organisations that surround our developments means a great deal to us, and it’s always lovely to know that we are helping to make a difference to the lives of people in our local communities.”
