Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties donates to West Berks Food Bank and Newbury Soup Kitchen

A home construction company has made a donation to West Berks Food Bank and Newbury Soup Kitchen.

Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties donated £250 to the food bank and £250 to the soup kitchen.

West Berks Food Bank is local to the housebuilder’s Shaw Valley development in Newbury.

The food bank manager Laura Iaschi said: “We want to say a huge thank you to Taylor Wimpey for recognising the importance of West Berks Food Bank and the role we play to help those in crisis.

“The donation will help us provide eggs, fresh fruit and vegetables to every client, ensuring those in need receive a nutritious food parcel.”

The sales and marketing director for Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties Roz Wells said the cost-of-living-crisis has made the work that these charities do more essential.

She said: “We are delighted to be able to donate towards these causes to provide essential items to those in need during this difficult time.”

CEO and founder of Newbury Soup Kitchen Meryl Praill added: “Thanks to Taylor Wimpey’s generous contribution, we can continue to provide essential support and make a significant difference in the lives of those in need.

“The donation will help towards breaking cycles of homelessness and help us to advocate for a more inclusive society."
