Easi-Drive gets its community giving programme on the road!
Easi-Drive has this week launched a national community giving programme, WheelsForGood.
Brainchild of founder and managing director Simon Bellamy, the £60,000 bursary fund has been created to give something back to the community in which the business operates.
Bellamy said: “As wheels are at the heart of what we do, it seems fitting that our corporate giving strategy should be based around this theme. This isn’t just about making monetary donations, we will also be offering our time to projects that will benefit.”
The launch of the programme was marked with a donation of £1,000 to South East based BMX club, the Royston Rockets. Bellamy added: “We received an application through a Bodyshop based in the South for funding for the club for improvements to its racing track.
“The club is professionally run and offers local kids the opportunity to channel their energy into something positive – we were delighted to help out.”
Bellamy predicts that the fund will help all sorts of projects from helping kids get mobile, restoration of vehicles to supporting young mechanics through apprenticeship programmes.
He added; “As one of the leading suppliers of like for like replacement vehicles we have instant access to a diverse range of vehicles including 12-seater coaches, we know already from conversations with people that so many charities and local projects are desperate for assistance with transport. We will endeavour to help as many projects as we can over the next 12 months.”
Those interested in applying for assistance through the fund should email emma@souter-rmc.co.uk or telephone Emma Beardsley on 0161 486 9102.
