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.

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."
