A HAMPSHIRE-based car dealer has donated thousands of pounds to a hospice charity following its 60th-anniversary fundraising campaign.

Snows Motor Group raised £10,000 for Naomi House and Jacksplace during its ‘Mission 60’ project.

The 60th-anniversary project, which began last year, challenged each member of staff to raise £60 through fundraising activities to collectively achieve a target of £60,000 to support six local charities, including Naomi House and Jacksplace which supports life-limited children and young adults.

Hampshire Chronicle:

More than 300 members of staff took part throughout the year, with around 30 events, including 12 abseils, two skydives, two football matches, five treks and a head shave.
