Shoreham Vehicle Auctions (SVA) has announced the results of its 15th annual charity auction, confirming a total of £36,000 for Chestnut Tree House.
Alongside a substantial donation of 21 cars from Yeomans, vehicles for the auction were supplied by CarSupermarket.com, Frost4cars, Hendy, PDH, Tates, and a number of independent dealers.
Alex Wright, Managing Director at Shoreham Vehicle Auctions, said: “We started these charity auctions in 2011, with a view to raise a few hundred pounds in aid of a cause close to our hearts. It’s mind-boggling to think that a decade and a half later, we’ve raised over £390,000 for Chestnut Tree House.
“I’d like to say a huge and personal thanks to everybody involved in this year’s fundraising, and to those who kindly made donations towards our auctions – in particular, Yeomans, whose consistent donation of multiple vehicles makes a real difference to our efforts.”
Chestnut Tree House provides essential care to children and young adults with life-limiting conditions across Sussex and southeast Hampshire.
The funds help support a range of services including hydrotherapy, respite care, and multi-sensory activities.
Stuart Palma, CEO of Chestnut Tree House, added: “Shoreham Vehicle Auctions has been a long-term supporter of Chestnut Tree House, and we are overwhelmingly grateful to them, and everybody who donated, attended, and contributed in any way to their fundraising efforts over the past fifteen years.”
The lates fundraising effort brings SVA’s total raised since 2011 for the charity to over £390,000.
