What would we do without the support and continued support from the BIG 4 Supermarkets?They really do have an invaluable input to our Charities survival, not only by allowing us to hold box collections but also the donations of cleaning materials etc for our 2 fully adapted and accessible caravans.

There are times when they do receive bad press, but now as Chairman we should really look at the positive work, they all do for good causes. Sincere gratitude to all four Supermarkets.

Yesterday one of our Sales Executives Joe Longley had the pleasure of handing over one of our used vehicles to this very special couple who were pleased with their purchase.   After spending some time talking to Karen and Nigel it is evident how tirelessly they work not only raising funds for their charity North Wales Accessible Holidays for Blind and Visually Impaired but also bringing enjoyment and happiness to the lives of other people. They have raised funds to purchase two static caravans in North Wales that are fully accessible and adapted to meet the needs of blind and visually impaired adults and children. Nigel who is himself registered blind, having lost his sight at 19 years old together with his Wife Karen have raised over a staggering £1.7million for 3 National Blind charities. They are always looking for Volunteers to help and of course raise as much funds as possible for their fantastic Charity to be able to keep making a difference to peoples lives. Please contact karengarry17@outlook.com if you would like to volunteer or help them in anyway. Take a look at their website, they are truly remarkable and lovely people: https://www.northwalesaccessibleholidaysforblindandvisuallyimpaired.org/CONTACT-US.php
