Westcotts participated in the Plymouth Argyle Community Trust Golf Day on Friday, helping to raise nearly £11,000 in support of young people with autism and their families through the Argyle 4 Autism programme, which provides free sports sessions.

We didn't take home a win, but we had a great time teaming up with other local businesses for a good cause.

Tomorrow is International Day of Charity, this is a chance to recognise the incredible work charities do every day to support communities, protect our environment and make a lasting difference.

At Westcotts, we’re proud to work alongside charities of all sizes and see first-hand the passion, dedication and impact they have.

To mark the day, we’re sharing a little more about the work of SocieTree, a small charity with wonderfully big ambitions. 🌳

SocieTree is a small charity with wonderfully big ambitions, growing roots and legacies. We create vibrant micro forests, predominantly in primary schools, giving children the chance to get muddy, plant trees, explore nature and feel genuinely connected to the world around them.

Seeing their excitement and genuine pride is incredibly special, and we feel very lucky to do what we do.

We have another exciting year ahead, with more forests to plant, more children to inspire and plenty of opportunities for businesses and volunteers to get involved. The support we receive from Westcotts has been absolutely invaluable, particularly through our transition from a CIC to a registered charity.

Their team are knowledgeable, approachable and endlessly patient (emphasis on endlessly!), and having that trusted advice and reassurance behind us has made an enormous difference to a very busy little charity like ours.

At Westcotts, we are committed to supporting the communities in which we live and work, so we are absolutely thrilled to share that Westcotts’ Central Teams have raised an amazing £4,807.80 for Hospiscare.

Hospiscare is the hospice charity providing specialist care to patients and their families living with life-limiting illnesses across Exeter, central and east Devon.

It’s a fantastic and much-loved local organisation and every pound raised by our teams will help support the outstanding care and services that Hospiscare provides to local patients and their families.

Many thanks to our staff, clients and all those who helped support our fundraising activities this year.

The government has confirmed further changes to Agricultural Property Relief (APR) and Business Property Relief (BPR).

From April 2026, the 100% relief cap is now proposed to increase to £2.5 million per taxpayer — meaning married couples and civil partners could pass on up to £5 million of qualifying assets without Inheritance Tax.

For some farmers, landowners and business owners, this will significantly reduce exposure. For others, careful planning is still essential.
