Swansway Motor Group has donated £6,675 to a local community interest company, providing entertainment for children and families.
Over the past seven years, Swansway have donated over £100,000 to Circus Starr, who provide entertainment for children with disabilities, and families facing challenges such as domestic violence, low incomes, or bereavement.
For every vehicle sold at a Swansway dealership on the Motability scheme, £25 is donated to enable a child and their carer to attend a Circus Starr show.
This includes sales Crewe locations: Crewe Audi, Crewe Volkswagen, CUPRA Crewe, and Crewe SEAT.
This most recent donation was the first since the partnership reached the £100,000 landmark and follows the sale of 267 vehicles in July, August, and September of this year.
Circus Starr begins their next tour in January, with shows taking place up and down the UK from the 10th of January 2024 to the 2nd of February 2024.
Communications and engagement manager at Circus Starr, Sarah Hall, said: "We really appreciate Swansway Motor Group's ongoing support, over the past seven years, the relationship has gone from strength to strength.
"Their donations have helped us to provide the magic of the Circus to children who unfortunately would otherwise miss out on such opportunities.
"We are looking forward to what the partnership brings going forward and to seeing their donations taking effect on our Winter tour."
Swansway Motor Group director, David Smyth, added: "It was brilliant that we were able to follow up the £100,000 landmark donation with an impactful donation this autumn.
"Over the past seven years, I have been privileged to see the phenomenal and meaningful work Circus Starr carries out and we are looking forward to seeing what the future of the partnership brings."
