SVA gears up for charity auction
Shoreham Vehicle Auctions (SVA) is pledging £10,000 to its long-standing charity auction partner, Chestnut Tree House children’s hospice (CTH).
It hopes the charity auction will help raise some vital funds for CTH care services which cost in-excess of £4.6m each year.
To support the auction, SVA is urging all south coast used vehicle dealers to donate all running cars and vans, regardless of age, shape and size, with or without an MOT, from across Sussex, Hampshire and Surrey
Local businesses are also being invited to ‘get involved’ in the fundraising by pledging their support through financial donations.
The Charity Car Auction will take place on 23 November while the Charity Van Auction takes place on 24 November. With the nation in lockdown, final details of the logistics of the event will be available via the website closer the time.
Catherine Stone, SVA’s business development manager, said: “Our 10th year of supporting Chestnut Tree House comes under very different circumstances during such unprecedented times. As individuals and businesses alike, we recognise just how tough it is for everyone right now but at a time when they probably need us most, we wanted to continue our support of CTH.
“We hope that may inspire others amongst our community and beyond to do the same. Any support – on matter how big or small – is welcome.”
