In total a grand sum of £4,700 will be paid to St Andrew’s Hospice as work on phase one of the development progresses, signalling a long-term relationship between this important local community hospice and Taylor Wimpey West Scotland.

St Andrew’s Hospice provides specialist palliative care to people living with life-limiting illnesses. Led by a consultant medical team, the hospice has 24 inpatient specialist palliative care beds, Outpatient and Wellbeing services, its Compassionate Lanarkshire community project, along with grief and bereavement support services. Its services are provided free of charge to the people of Lanarkshire.

Commenting on the support that it has received from Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, Lorna McCafferty, trusts, legacy and Individual giving manager of St Andrew’s Hospice, said: “We are extremely grateful for the support that we will receive from Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, and we can’t thank them enough for their generous donation. This money will be put to work locally to help us deliver a range of projects to those who need the support of St Andrew’s Hospice. On behalf of everyone who uses our services, 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 be able to support St Andrew’s Hospice in this meaningful way.
“Our announcement signals the creation of a relationship with a very worthy local charity that will provide a link between the new community that will grow at our Calder Wynd development in Carnbroe, and the existing community of Coatbridge, Airdrie, and the wider North Lanarkshire area.

“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.”
