As we move into 2025, we are proud and grateful to continue our partnership with Taylor Wimpey North East, our dedicated charity sponsor. Their commitment to Louie’s Trust has made a profound impact on the lives of the children and families we support, and we want to take a moment to celebrate their incredible contributions so far. Over the past year, Taylor Wimpey North East has gone above and beyond to support our mission. Their team organised collections at their North East head office, gathering essential items like toiletries and snacks for our parent packs, as well as second-hand books and toys for Sunderland Royal Hospital and the Great North Children’s Hospital. These donations have brought comfort and joy to families during some of their most challenging times. Taylor Wimpey North East also played a key role in our Christmas appeal, collecting toys to ensure children in the hospital and those undergoing ongoing treatment in the community could experience the magic of Christmas. Their generosity didn’t stop there! They also sponsored our annual games night at Prego Sunderland, creating a wonderful opportunity for our volunteers and trustees to come together and celebrate the achievements of the past year. To date, their efforts have raised over £1,500.00 for Louie’s Trust which is simply incredible and we are beyond grateful!  Looking ahead, we are excited to share that Taylor Wimpey has even more planned for 2025. In May, they will host their first-ever Charity Ball in aid of Louie’s Trust, complete with an auction to raise funds and awareness for our cause. Additionally, the Taylor Wimpey Challenge will return after last year’s successful event, which raised £842.02. We can’t wait to see what this year brings! Here's what the staff from Taylor Wimpey had to say. "As we look ahead to 2025, Taylor Wimpey North East is committed to supporting Louie's Trust. Our team is passionate about positively impacting the lives of the children and families you serve, and we're excited to take on new initiatives and challenges together. Some of our staff have children who have spent time in the hospital, so we know how tough those times can be and how small comforts can make a huge difference. We are also proud of the positive impact our efforts made in 2024 and are excited to see how we can help further in 2025. We admire and appreciate all the incredible work Louie's Trust does and are privileged to be a part of it.” We are deeply thankful to Taylor Wimpey North East for their unwavering support and dedication to making a difference. Their efforts inspire us, and we hope they inspire others too. If you’d like to get involved and support Louie’s Trust, whether through donations, volunteering, or fundraising, we’d love to hear from you. Together, we can create a brighter future for the children and families who need it most.
