Taylor Wimpey East Anglia have sponsored Norwich Rotary Club with £5,000 donation towards this year's Craft Fair which is raising money for the Boudicca Breast Cancer Appeal at Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital. Members of Norwich Rotary were on hand to help Mark Chapman of Taylor Wimpey to present the cheque to Sheila Glenn at the hospital. The visitors also looked round the area where the new Breast Unit will be.
Norwich Rotary Club’s are proud to announce Bury St Edmunds based house builder, Taylor Wimpey East Anglia as official headline sponsor of the annual Craft Fair. The housebuilder has donated £5,000 to the fair, which is being held in aid of the Boudicca Breast Cancer Appeal being run by the Norfolk & Norwich Hospitals Charity.
The Craft Fair, which is in its eighth year, is organised by the Rotary Club’s in Norwich. Taking place this year on Saturday 10th August, between 10am and 4pm at Chapelfield Gardens, the fair will welcome up to 100 stalls offering unique gifts and crafts as well as live music and food.
All proceeds raised at the fair this year will go towards the Boudicca Breast Cancer Appeal. Set up in October 2018, the appeal is to help fund a new unit, in order for the hospital to provide faster diagnosis and treatment, state-of-the-art equipment and same-day diagnostic tests so that patients need only attend the clinic once.
Louise Cook, Fundraising Manager at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, says: “The aim of our Boudicca Appeal is to reduce the stress and anxiety our patients feel whilst waiting for tests. We wouldn’t be able to raise the funds we need to help those in their time of need without the support of local businesses and communities. We’re very grateful for all of the support we’ve had from the Rotary Club and that it has chosen to donate all the funds raised from this year’s Craft Fair to the Boudicca Appeal.”
Caroline Carter, Sales and Marketing Director of Taylor Wimpey East Anglia, says “We are committed to giving back to the local communities in which we are building and are proud to be the headline sponsor of this year’s Rotary Club’s Craft Fair. With fun, games and entertainment for the whole family, the event will be one not to miss this summer. It’s great to know that all the proceeds raised will go towards the Boudicca Appeal, which is a fantastic cause.”
Paul Constable, President of Norwich Marchesi Rotary Club, says: “We are extremely proud that a company of Taylor Wimpey’s stature has chosen to donate £5,000 towards this year’s Craft Fair, all in aid of NNUH’s Boudicca Breast Cancer Appeal. Each year, the fair is very popular with families in the local community, and thanks to Taylor Wimpey we are looking forward to another hugely successful event.”
Taylor Wimpey is proud to show its support to the annual Craft Fair, in aid of the Boudicca Appeal. The donation is just one of the many contributions being made by the housebuilder towards local communities and infrastructure.
