Now in its 12th year, the Taylor Wimpey Challenge has so far raised over £1.6 million for the Youth Adventure Trust (YAT), a charity which inspires vulnerable young people through outdoor adventure, as well as other regional charities across the country.

On Saturday, 16th May 2026, over 300 Taylor Wimpey employees, across 49 teams, completed a hike along the north Devon coastline, followed by a series of competitive, creative and strategic tasks.

Money raised by the two teams from Taylor Wimpey West Scotland will be donated to the YAT  and St Vincent’s Hospice, which is located in Howwood, Renfrewshire, and aims to provide access to the best possible care and support to everyone living with a life-limiting illness in Renfrewshire and North Ayrshire.

Kara Newman, sales administrator, who led one of the teams, said: “The Taylor Wimpey  Challenge is always a fantastic event. Not only does it bring together employees from across the business, but more importantly, it raises a huge amount of money for extremely worthy charities. This year has been no different, and I’m extremely proud of our teams in West Scotland for their effort in raising much-needed donations for the YAT and St Vincent’s Hospice.”

Mark Davey, CEO at the Youth Adventure Trust, added: “It has been another fantastic year for the Taylor Wimpey Challenge, with all of the participants embracing the activities with camaraderie and a great sense of humour. As always, we’re very appreciative of their efforts in support of our mission to help young people fulfil their potential and lead positive lives.

“Funding from this year’s event will make a huge difference to us and we look forward to continuing our partnership into 2027.”
