Story
🌟 The Legendary Grand Tour 2026 – Small Cars, Big Hearts 🌟
Supporting Children’s Hospice South West
In 2026, around 200 Minis will take to the roads of North Devon, creating one of the most joyful, colourful convoys you’ll ever see. From classic charm to modern muscle, every Mini taking part shares one purpose — raising vital funds for Children’s Hospice South West, a charity that provides extraordinary care for children with life‑limiting conditions and their families.
This year, we’re proud to be part of it again for our 7th time.
Personally we have raised over £1200 so far.
The mini run as a group raises between 25,000 and 35,000 each year!

💚 Why We’re Fundraising
Children’s Hospice South West offers respite, emergency care, end‑of‑life support, and a lifeline to families navigating the hardest journeys. Every pound raised helps them continue their remarkable work.

Your support — whether through sponsorship, donations, or simply cheering us on — makes a real difference.
Every mile we drive, every Mini in the convoy, and every smile along the route helps raise awareness and funds for this amazing charity.
