Free test drive a Ford car to raise funds for St Ann’s Hospice
St Ann's will be hosting the brand new fundraising event at the Heald Green hospice
St Ann’s Hospice is launching a “brand new” fundraising initiative in partnership with Ford.
Ford will be conducting a community test drive, using St Ann’s Hospice in Heald Green as a base on Saturday, May 10 from 9am to 5pm.
The community test drive will see Ford bring a number of electric vehicles to the Heald Green site. For every unique household that drives a vehicle, St Ann’s will receive £30 from Ford.
Head of Fundraising and Capital Campaign at St Ann’s Hospice, Anne-Marie Wynne said that the community test drive is an exciting opportunity to raise money for St Ann’s.
“We are looking for 200 unique households to come and test drive an electric vehicle out of St Ann’s. It will be a short test drive around the area, and there are no strings attached. It’s just a great opportunity for people who are perhaps on the fence a little bit about an electric vehicle and don’t want the commitment of going to a showroom. It is also a great way of supporting St Ann’s Hospice,” Anne-Marie said.
We are so grateful to Ford for providing us with the opportunity and we look forward to welcoming them and all of our supporters on the day Anne-Marie Wynne, Head of Fundraising and Capital Campaign at St Ann's Hospice
The event will be completely free to the public, and St Ann’s will receive a £30 donation from each unique household who test drives a car whether or not people commit to purchase a vehicle.
Ian Cookson, General Manager of TrustFord Wilmslow expressed excitement about the event.
“We are delighted to partner with Ford on this community initiative. St. Ann’s Hospice makes such a significant impact on our local area, and we’re excited to support them.
We invite everyone in the local community to join us on Saturday, 10th May, take a test drive, and help us make a lasting difference Ian Cookson, General Manager, TrustFord Wilmslow
There will also be a tombola on the day and it will also provide the opportunity for the public to come and see the St Ann’s site and see the progress of development at the new build next door which is nearing completion.
A valid driving license is required on the day. To register your interest in a test drive please visit our website here where you will find a link to Ford’s Drive4URCommunity page.
