Snows Vauxhall Southampton is supporting a seasonal initiative to benefit disadvantaged children at Christmas.
The dealership has loaned a Vivaro van to the organisers of this year’s Mission Christmas appeal.
Mission Christmas is run by Cash for Kids, the official charity partner of South Coast radio station Wave 105.
The Vivaro van, complete with festive livery featuring Father Christmas and artwork relating to the appeal, is being used to collect toys handed in at drop-off points across the South.
The gifts will then be sorted out, so that children will receive age-appropriate presents, before they are handed over to youngsters and their families ready for the big day on December 25th – now less than two weeks away!
The Snows Vauxhall Southampton team are delighted to be playing their part in making this year’s Mission Christmas appeal a seasonal success.
Andrew Elliott, sales manager at the dealership, said: ‘‘Christmas is such a special time for children. All youngsters should receive a gift from Santa Claus on Christmas Day, no matter what their circumstances.
‘‘We’re delighted to be playing a small part in this year’s Mission Christmas appeal and if Santa’s sleigh breaks down on Christmas Eve, our specially-liveried Vauxhall Vivaro van will be available!’’
Cash for Kids is a grant-giving charity helping the children who need it most across the UK.
Its mission is to improve the lives of disadvantaged young people in our communities who are affected by poverty, illness, neglect or have additional needs.
The organisation believes that all children should be able to express their individuality, achieve their potential and live life to the full.
