A West Dunbartonshire school will have a new place to store their garden equipment thanks to a generous donation from residential developers, Taylor Wimpey.

As part of its ongoing commitment to working in partnership with local communities, the company recently donated £500 to Braehead Primary School’s PTA – Friends of Braehead in Dumbarton.

The group have decided to put the money towards providing storage for the school garden equipment and some of the children’s garden toys, which have previously been stolen.

Friends of Braehead works hard each year to raise funds for a variety of projects in the school and acting head teacher, Caroline Gibson is thankful that the PTA managed to secure such a fantastic donation from the housebuilding company.

She said: “We are extremely grateful for the support that we have received from Taylor Wimpey and we can’t thank them enough for their generous donation.

"Our children love working and playing in the school garden but their tools and equipment have previously been stolen.

“Our fantastic PTA wanted to provide secure storage that will keep the garden tools, equipment and some outdoor toys safe when the children are not using them."

Audrey Ross, Sales and Marketing Director at Taylor Wimpey West Scotland said: “We are delighted to be able to support Braehead Primary School’s PTA with a donation towards its school garden project. The work we do is a lot more than just building high-quality homes.

"Being able to work with local businesses and organisations that surround our developments means a great deal to us, and it’s great to know that we are helping to make a difference to the lives of people in local communities.”
