SVA raises £38,000 for Chestnut Tree House
Shoreham Vehicle Auctions (SVA) has raised a record-breaking £38,000 in its 15th annual charity auction for Chestnut Tree House Children’s Hospice.
The company has now raised more than £340,000 for the hospice since 2011.
It raised the money by auctioning 27 vehicles donated by car dealers at its latest charity sale, with SVA adding an additional £250 per vehicle to the final fundraising total.
Yeomans Group supported the sale by donating 20 vehicles, with other contributions from Tates Group, Frosts4Cars, Birchwood Group, and Hendy Group, while racing driver Nathan Edwards donated four VIP tickets to a Vertu MINI CHALLENGE JCW round.
Alex Wright, managing director at Shoreham Vehicle Auctions and a patron of Chestnut Tree House, said:
“Once again, the south coast motor trade has stepped up to support this amazing cause. We are incredibly proud to have raised £38,000 this year. Every donation, bid, and vehicle sold helps make a real difference to the children and families supported by Chestnut Tree House.”
Stuart Palma, CEO of Chestnut Tree House, added: “To have reached over £340,000 raised is nothing short of astonishing. We are so grateful to SVA, the dealers, and every single buyer who contributed this year.”
Chestnut Tree House provides essential care to children and young adults with life-limiting conditions across Sussex and southeast Hampshire.
