We are in proud partnership with the Home Construction Company Taylor Wimpey Midlands throughout 2024. As a Foundation we have received so much incredible support from the team, including donations, fundraising, volunteer time, event support and much more.
Recently the Taylor Wimpey Midlands staff took a leap into the unknown when they jumped out of a plane to help support The Lily Mae Foundation.
Four members of the regional team, took part in the skydive in aid of the Lily Mae Foundation last week, striving not only to conquer their own fears but raise vital funds to support bereaved families.
Thanks to the hard work of the Taylor Wimpey Midlands Charity Committee, the skydive volunteers and the generous donations of colleagues, friends and family, the event has raised £3,188 for The Foundatuon, beating their original target of £1,600!
"We are thrilled to see the brave efforts of the Taylor Wimpey Midlands team in completing this skydive for our charity. The money they’ve raised helps us to help others facing incredibly challenging circumstances and we couldn’t be more grateful. A big thank you to all involved.” - Ryan Jackson
Jaspreet Aujla, Finance Director at Taylor Wimpey Midlands, who completed the skydive on the day, said: “Wow, just wow! That was an amazing experience. The sense of freedom whilst falling (though it feels like flying) through the sky is wonderful, and to be able to do it whilst raising what is now over £3,000 for such a lovely charity is delightfully rewarding. If this is how much money we can raise from doing daft things like jumping out of a plane at 15,000 ft, then I suppose we should all start volunteering to do these amazing pursuits – it’s all for a good cause!”
Every ounce of support we have received from Taylor Wimpey this year has played a vital role in supporting us as a charity to help more bereaved families going through the devastating loss of a baby.
We look forward to continuing our partnership throughout 2024 and working closely together to help us help more bereaved parents.
