Story

(See latest news bulletins at bottom of page!)

Rod will be doing a charity drive leaving here on 5th July & heading through Europe to Istanbul.


For the past few weeks, he has been driving the car around Swindon, selling green vinyl hands to friends, family and the public, along with larger logos to businesses. This will yield approximately £1,000.

We hope to have sponsorship for Fuel & Ferry, so that all proceeds will go towards the cost of us purchasing a van for our Branch, estimated at £10,000.

Will you please consider sponsoring him on a 'pence per mile' basis, up to a maximum of 2,200 miles. At 1p per mile, that equates to a maximum of £22. I understand that not everyone can commit to that amount of money, so please only commit to an amount you feel comfortable with.
On the other hand, if you feel able to do more than 1p per mile, there is no limit, and remember all proceeds will go to OUR new van.
