Builders ‘Wear It Pink’ for breast cancer awareness

Date published: 29 October 2015


Builders and site staff from David Wilson Homes North West division donned pink hi-visibility vests in support of the Breast Cancer Now campaign and donated £500 to the cause on behalf of its Kingsway development in Rochdale.

In addition to sporting pink hi-vis vests and hats, David Wilson Homes North West division has donated £500 to the cause on behalf of its Kingsway development in Rochdale.

Last year, £2m million was raised by wear it pink supporters, funding life-saving research across the UK and Ireland, and this year campaigners hope to raise even more through encouraging businesses, schools and individuals to wear it pink.

Steve Jackson, Sales Director at DWH North West, commented: “We’re delighted to show our support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October, and raise awareness for a fantastic charity.

“As well as building quality homes, we want to help local communities and family charities, and I think this is a great way to do so. Not only is it a bit of fun, it also supports important, life-saving research into breast cancer.”
