FUNDRAISING heroes from Vauxhall, Ellesmere Port, have helped to raise more than £3,000 for charity.
Employees from the car plant collected £3,190 for the Help the Heroes charity as the UK’s only road going Vauxhall ‘Vivaro Vault” rolled into Ellesmere Port as part of a two- week ‘Drive for Heroes’ tour of the UK to collect funds raised by Vauxhall Retailers and manufacturing plants.
It is one of many fundraising activities Vauxhall has arranged for its two-year support partnership with the charity which helps British servicemen and women who have been wounded in the service of their country. The specially customised Vauxhall Vivaro Sportive Double Cab 2.0 CDTi is swathed in Help for Heroes livery and comes complete with Fort Knox-inspired graphics.
Tony Francavilla, Ellesmere Port plant director, had the honour of depositing the cheque in the Vivaro Vault. He said: “Ellesmere Port is immensely proud to be supporting Help for Heroes and we hope this will be the first of many cheques we can present to this worthy charity.”
