Vauxhall in Help for Heroes vehicle handover

Vauxhall is supplying Help for Heroes with four support vehicles, including three British-built Astra Sport Tourers and a Vauxhall Movano van, as part of its two-year partnership with the charity.

The four vehicles were handed over to Bryn Parry, Help for Heroes CEO and co-founder by Duncan Aldred, Vauxhall’s Managing Director at Griffin House, Vauxhall’s Luton HQ.

The three Astra Sport Tourers will be used to support the many fundraising events Help for Heroes organises where their versatile and capacious cargo area will be put to good use.  The 3.5 tonne Movano panel van will also be used to support events such as air shows and sporting activities mainly to transport and sell their merchandise and bulky boxes.

The Vauxhall vehicles have been swathed in a striking Help for Heroes livery to ensure they attract even more attention for the charity.

To date, Vauxhall has raised over £125,000 for Help for Heroes, money which is used by the charity to help those wounded in Britain’s current conflicts.

Bryn Parry, Help for Heroes CEO and co-founder, said: “Help for Heroes’ fundraising events take place across the UK and Europe and a range of vehicles are needed to successfully support them. The addition of three Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourers and the Movano means Help for Heroes staff will be able to travel in comfortable, practical vehicles that I’m sure they will enjoy driving. Help for Heroes extends its gratitude once again to Vauxhall.”

Duncan Aldred, Vauxhall’s Managing Director, said: “Vauxhall is proud to be supporting Help for Heroes as it raises money for servicemen and women who have given so much for their country. We’re delighted to be able to extend our support to this very worthwhile charity and we look forward to assisting Help for Heroes further.”
