Steven Ball, sales and marketing director for Taylor Wimpey North Yorkshire, said: “Our Wynyard Manor show homes have recently been given a facelift. As part of this, we wanted to donate the household items to a worthy cause like the British Heart Foundation.
“The work that the BHF do is invaluable and we are happy to be able to support them in whatever way that we can.”
The British Heart Foundation funds research into all forms of heart and circulatory disease and the things that cause them.

But the donation is not the only one to come from the housebuilders.
Taylor’s Wimpey’s Lavenham show home at Wynyard Manor has also recently undergone a refurbishment.
And that meant all the furniture could be donated to the Daisy Chain Project which supports families who are affected by autism in the Tees Valley area.
