MCTAGGART Construction has gifted £25,000 to Beatson Cancer Charity, marking the final donation in the £80,000 giving programme launched to mark the company’s 80th anniversary. This completes a year that has also seen donations go to Crossbasket House and to Simon Community Scotland.
Founded in 1946, McTaggart Construction chose to mark its milestone year by supporting three charities close to the communities it serves. The donation to Beatson Cancer Charity will help fund the purchase of two chemotherapy chairs and contribute towards wellbeing services, a wig purchasing and fitting service, and research and innovation projects.
Beatson Cancer Charity provides practical, emotional, and financial support to help people through every stage of their cancer journey, while also investing in research and improvements to cancer care.
Rosslyn Anderson, director at McTaggart Construction, said, “Reaching our 80th anniversary gave us an opportunity to give something back to the communities that have been part of our journey, and making this donation to Beatson Cancer Charity is a fitting way to mark the culmination of our £80,000 community fund. Cancer touches so many families, including our own staff, their loved ones and friends, so we know this donation will make a real difference to patients and their families across the west of Scotland.”
Gillian Hailstones, CEO at Beatson Cancer Charity, added, “We are incredibly grateful to McTaggart Construction for this generous £25,000 donation and for choosing Beatson Cancer Charity as the final recipient of its 80th anniversary giving programme. This fantastic gift will have a meaningful impact on people affected by cancer, helping us provide vital equipment and enhance the care, wellbeing and support available to patients and their families. From funding chemotherapy chairs to supporting our wellbeing services, complementary therapies and research and innovation, this donation will make a lasting difference to people when they need it most.”
