The 1st Crawley Scouts have been gifted £250 by Taylor Wimpey South Thames as part of the donation box scheme which is running at its Forge Wood development in Crawley.
Visitors to the development’s Sales Information Centre are encouraged to vote for one of three local causes to receive a donation from Taylor Wimpey and 1st Crawley Scouts have been announced as the latest winners after receiving the most votes from the local community in September.
Based at the Scout Hut on Oak Road in Southgate, 1st Crawley Scouts cater for children from age six to fourteen and run sessions for Beavers, Cubs, and Scouts every week.
A range of activities including crafts, outdoor learning, singing, exploring nature, storytelling and learning how to be safe in the community, are offered to provide young people with valuable experiences and to encourage social interaction.
Commenting on Taylor Wimpey’s donation Dr Andy Hibberd, Scouter-In-Charge at 1st Crawley Scouts, said: “We cannot thank Taylor Wimpey enough for this donation. We rely on the support of goodwill gestures and the money that we make fundraising to be able to run all of our group sessions and to continue to offer new and exciting activities for our members.
