Kenny Young of Roslin Village Fete said: “This donation will go towards providing some form of entertainment for the children in the village on the day of our annual Village fete, should we be allowed to have one this year. Donations like this from Taylor Wimpey make all the difference to what we can provide for the people of Roslin."

Kirsty McGill of Taylor Wimpey East Scotland, said: “Our Community Chest project with Roslin Village website was a great way to find out more about the groups and organisations that really do make a difference to the lives of people living in Roslin.

"We are looking forward to learning more about the projects that our donations will support and continuing to play our role in the local community as our development of new homes continues to progress.”
