Thinking Pink: Banbury construction staff raise awareness for breast cancer

The site team at the Whitechapel Gardens and The Pavilions developments on White Post Road switched out their usual hard hats and high visibility jackets for bright pink hats and vests to do their bit for the wear it pink campaign.

Wear it pink was first introduced more than 20 years ago and has raised over £39 million for Breast Cancer Now. The charity helps towards funding cutting edge research across the UK and Ireland to help find a cure for breast cancer at all stages. Its mission is to make sure by 2050, everyone with breast cancer lives and is well-supported.

In addition to donning the pink PPE, a combined donation of £1,000has been made by Barratt and David Wilson Homes to Breast Cancer Now to support its work.

Adrian Evans, Managing Director at Barratt Homes West Midlands, said: “As a leading housebuilder, it’s extremely important to us to support charities and communities in the areas in which we build new homes. We hope our donation will help Breast Cancer Now to continue its important work.”

Dominic Harman, Managing Director at David Wilson Homes Mercia, said: “Our construction teams always enjoy the opportunity to wear the pink PPE for the day, and this will have sparked a lot of conversations on site to hopefully raise awareness of the campaign and Breast Cancer Now’s efforts.”
