Taylor Wimpey gives boost to Wigan borough scouting group

The housebuilder’s donation has contributed towards replacing the chain link fencing around the scouts’ headquarters in Golborne to improve the security of the building and protect the equipment inside.

Charlotte Palin, Deputy Lead Volunteer at 1st Golborne St Thomas Scouts, said: “Thank you to Taylor Wimpey for the kind donation of £250. It's important that we keep our headquarters well-maintained and secure for the benefit of all the young people who use our scout and guide groups. All donations are gratefully received, so a huge thank you once again.”

Sam Evans, Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey Manchester, said: “The scouts provide valuable and long-lasting life skills to the young people who attend its groups as well as unique experiences, adventures and life-long memories. We are delighted to support 1st Golborne St Thomas Scouts and help to fund the replacement of the headquarters’ fencing and security.”
