Fund created for Westland accident victims family reaches £5,000 target

Ayrshire garden centre owner, Michael Hayes of Hayes Garden Land in Symington who set up a JustGiving page to raise money for the family of Philip Moore who died after a tragic accident at Westlands Dungannon factory has reported that while the fund has reached the target of £5,000 further donations to help the family would be welcome.

 

"Weʼre raising £5,000 to help the wife & young child of a man accidently killed in our Garden Centre industry and show we care," writes Michael on the JustGiving page.  "An Irish man recently lost his life whilst working to supply our industry. He leaves a wife and young Child and although no amount of money will heal their loss, we are honoured to show our appreciation of his endeavours. The Growers and Retailers of the Garden Centre Industry of the UK and Eire thank you."
