The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in Troon has received a donation of £900 from Taylor Wimpey West Scotland.

The home building company teamed up with the RNLI to confirm that it will donate £25 for each new home sold and legally completed at its new developments in Troon’s Princess Gate and Queens Court.

The £900 sum was donated to the charity in late March this year, which brings the overall donation paid so far to £1,925 towards the grand sum of £5,650 that has been pledged to the RNLI, with all money going directly to the local RNLI Troon Lifeboat Station.

The donation recognises a long-term relationship between Taylor Wimpey West Scotland and the RNLI with the money contributing towards the amazing life-saving services the RNLI Troon Lifeboat Station provides.

The charity aims to use volunteers wherever possible and with voluntary donations, this donation contributes to funds which are necessary to make this achievable and will help with the RNLI’s overall aim to keep lives safe at sea.

Speaking about the continued support from Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, Urda Cotter from the RNLI said: “We are extremely grateful for the ongoing support that we have receive from Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, and we can’t thank them enough for their second generous donation.

“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 RNLI, I would like to say a huge thank you.”

Audrey Ross, Sales and Marketing Director at Taylor Wimpey West Scotland said: “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.”
