Homebuilders Taylor Wimpey North West, have made a cash donation to St Gabriel’s Church in Huyton to help buy new planters.
The church’s soup and seeders group consists of volunteers and members of the local community who look for an opportunity to give something back while socialising.
Taylor Wimpey North West’s £500 donation will help the church buy new planters for their garden where they grow fresh, organic produce.
The food grown is used for St. Gabriel’s Lunch Club for the elderly and any left over produce is then sold to members of the congregation as to not go to waste.
Canon Malcolm Rogers MBE, of St Gabriel Church, explains: “Taylor Wimpey’s kind donation is very much appreciated and will help us to further expand our project. The current planters are almost 10 years old and are not in the best shape.
“Our new ones have been bought from a wonderful charity called ‘The Bridge Inn Community Farm, based in Formby, and supports adults with learning disabilities. A lot of good is being done through this contribution.”
The homebuilders have been supporting the church, which is nearby to their Scholar’s Field development, since 2016, with previous donations to the popular lunch club.
Emily Nicklin, sales manager for Taylor Wimpey North West, comments: “The work that Malcolm and the rest of the volunteers continue to do at St Gabriel is truly wonderful. This is an example of a community that works together to help and support those in need or less fortunate and something we’re only too happy to help with.
“We look forward to seeing the new planters being put to good use and our friends at the lunch club enjoying the efforts of the Soup and Seedlings Group.”
The Scholar’s Field development managed by Taylor Wimpey and close to St. Gabriel’s Church have a range of homes for sale starting from £175,995.
Malcolm adds: “We wish to extend our thanks to Taylor Wimpey again for its generous contribution. It will make a wonderful difference to our Soup and Seedlings group, to the local community and to the charity from which we purchase our planters.”
