Barry Holt, Dealer Principal at Blue Bell Crewe, and Paul Legerton, MINI Brand Manager at Blue Bell Crewe, have presented fundraiser Hannah Ward-Salt from The Donna Louise Children’s Hospice Trust with a cheque for £500 following a fundraising campaign for the local charity.
The Donna Louise Children’s Hospice Trust provides a range of specialist care and support services for children with a shortened life expectancy and their families. The hospice supports children and their families with the challenges that having a life-threatening condition can often bring, and the team provide this care and support from Treetops - a purpose-built house in Stoke on Trent.
Blue Bell MINI Crewe kicked off their fundraising campaign for the charity at a recent celebration weekend, to launch the dealership’s London 2012 Olympic countdown and to raise money for a local charity, by asking customers and local residents which charity they would like to support. The programme has now been running for three months, with all visitors to the showroom being given a special charity token with which to show their support for a local cause of their choice.
The votes have now been counted and it has been announced that The Donna Louise Children’s Hospice Trust received an overwhelming majority, so fundraiser Hannah Ward-Salt visited the showroom to accept the donation for the local hospice.
Hannah Ward-Salt, Fundraiser for The Donna Louise Children’s Hospice Trust, comments: “We are extremely grateful for this kind donation from the staff and customers at Blue Bell MINI Crewe. The hospice provides vital support for local families and their children, but we rely on the generous fundraising efforts of local establishments like the Blue Bell Group to enable us to continue with our work.”
Barry Holt, Dealer Principal at Blue Bell Crewe, adds: “We are delighted to be able to present Hannah and the team at The Donna Louise Children’s Hospice Trust with this donation. The admirable work done at the hospice to provide care and support for children and their families is fantastic, and we hope to be able to continue our support of the charity with ongoing fundraising events in the future.”
