Taylor Wimpey lends a hand and donates to Storehouse Foodbank 

Taylor Wimpey has donated £500 and its staff have helped to volunteer at Storehouse Foodbank to help provide food to low income families in the Sudbury area.

The foodbank runs as part of the Stour Valley Vineyard Church and provides emergency food bags to local families and individuals in crisis.

They do this through a referral system, partnering with a growing number of agencies in Sudbury and the surrounding areas, to provide simple food supplies, toiletries, household cleaners and even nappies.

Storehouse works with a variety of agencies, such as CAB, NHS, GP, Temp/Emergency Housing, Police, Family Centres, Mental Health/AA etc.

The £500 donation will go towards funding the group’s emergency food parcels and help to provide further help and resources to those in need.

Further to this, a group of staff visited the foodbank earlier this month to help with the collection and assembly of food and hygiene parcels, general cleaning, and day-to-day administration.

The volunteering by Taylor Wimpey staff helped the foodbank to spread and pack their resources, ready to go as needed.

Michael O’Leary, the regional operations and sales director at Taylor Wimpey London, said: “We’re proud to give back to the communities in which we build, and supporting local initiatives like Storehouse Foodbank is a key part of that commitment.

“The work they do is not only invaluable to the area but also essential in helping residents stay safe and connected to the resources available to them.

“Our team had an incredibly rewarding experience volunteering, it is vital in strengthening connections, fostering a sense of responsibility, and ensuring we are contributing to a positive and sustainable future.

“We hope that our efforts, both through financial support and volunteering, will help make a tangible difference in Sudbury, providing vital assistance to those who need it most.”

Ryan Legg, from Storehouse Foodbank, added: “Thank you so much to Taylor Wimpey for their incredibly generous donation to our cause. The support will allow us to keep moving forward with the important work we do.

“Additionally, we had the pleasure of hosting an amazing group of individuals who visited us.

“Their passion to help and their dedication to completing the tasks we assigned made a tremendous impact on our team and our efforts.

“A heartfelt thank you once again to each of them for their hard work — they were an outstanding group, and we are grateful to have had them represent Taylor Wimpey.”
