Swansway Raise Over £2,000 for Gingerbread Family Support

The £50 Gingerbread Enterprise Challenge Helped Raise Vital Funds

During six weeks of fundraising, teams at Swansway went head to head to see who could turn their initial £50 investment into the biggest fundraising total and raised over £2,000!

Throughout the challenge, teams got stuck into a packed calendar of fundraising fun including:

• Hosting a daring, ‘I’m a Director Get Me Out Of Here’ challenge
• Halloween fancy dress competition
• Raffles supported by local partners
• Many, many cake sales (thanks to all the great bakers!)

The funds raised will go directly towards supporting families across Staffordshire and Cheshire who are facing homelessness and crisis, helping them access the vital services they need to rebuild their lives.

Jess Druce, Fundraising Manager at Gingerbread Family Support, said:

“We’re absolutely thrilled that Swansway Motor Group entered three teams into this year’s £50 Challenge and raised over £2,000 for Gingerbread Family Support.

The funds raised will go directly to helping families who’ve reached crisis point, giving them the support they need to get back on their feet.

Having Swansway Motor Group not only take part but also sponsor the event makes it even more special, and we’re incredibly grateful for their continued commitment to our community.”

Emma Goodall, Dealership Marketing Manager at Swansway Motor Group, said:

“We’re incredibly proud of all our teams for throwing themselves into this year’s Gingerbread Enterprise Challenge and raising such an amazing amount for such an important local charity.

Seeing the creativity, teamwork and enthusiasm across HR, Marketing and our Contact Centre has been brilliant.

To raise over £2,000 for families in crisis is a fantastic achievement and we couldn’t be happier to continue supporting Gingerbread Family Support and the vital work they do in our community.”

The Gingerbread Enterprise Challenge continues to be a brilliant way for local businesses to bring teams together, spark creativity and raise much needed funds for important causes.
