A team from Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties has raised £3,205 for the Youth Adventure Trust after taking part in the Taylor Wimpey Challenge on Saturday, 10 May.
The homebuilder’s annual fundraising event, now in its 11th year, sees teams from across the UK work together to raise money to support the Youth Adventure Trust (YAT), a charity which inspires vulnerable young people aged 11 to 16 through outdoor adventure.
This year over 300 Taylor Wimpey employees, across 53 teams, completed hikes between 10km and 50km through the picturesque Yorkshire Dales. Teams also took part in varied tasks designed to test their strategy, teamwork, and endurance.
Noel Staunton, at Taylor Wimpey Southern Counties, said: “The Taylor Wimpey challenge is one of the highlights of the year. It’s not only valuable time for team building, but demonstrates our commitment to raising funds for charities like the Youth Adventure Trust, which do such fantastic work. We’re already looking forward to next year’s challenge!”
Mark Davey, CEO at the Youth Adventure Trust, said: “We were delighted to host a unique team building event where teams from Taylor Wimpey worked together to be creative and strategic whilst also having lots of fun outdoors.
“Funds raised by teams will support many vulnerable young people at the Youth Adventure Trust to learn similar skills as well as benefit many other charities local to teams’ Business Units.”
Since the annual Taylor Wimpey challenge began, the accumulated fundraising total has now reached over £1.5 million.
