A local car dealer group with branches in Stoke-on-Trent has this week announced that they have surpassed £100,000 in donations to the non-profit organisation, Circus Starr.

The milestone donation comes in the seventh year of the partnership between Swansway Motor Group and Circus Starr.

Swansway Motor Group have been raising money through the sale of Motability vehicles, donating £25 per vehicle sold to cover the cost of a ticket for a child and their carer to attend a Circus Starr show.

To raise £100,000, Swansway Motor Group have sold over 5,000 Motability vehicles since 2016.

The two parties celebrated this milestone achievement together at the Circus Starr show hosted at the Swansway Stadium, home of Nantwich Town FC on Monday 12th June.

To raise the money, the car dealership has sold over 5,000 Motability vehicles since 2016 (Swansway Motor Group).

It was a wonderful event with members from Swansway Head Office including Swansway Motor Group Director David Smyth in attendance.

Sarah Hall Communications and Engagement Manager at Circus Starr commented:"We are overwhelmed at the support we have received from Swansway Motor Group over the last 7 years. To reach such a milestone figure in their donations is something we have never experienced before and we are incredibly grateful for their support."

Swansway Motor Group Director David Smyth added: "It's our pleasure to reach the £100,000 donation mark with Circus Starr and it's been wonderful to celebrate this milestone achievement together. Over the last few weeks, many of our team members have been able to see first- hand the importance of Circus Starr's work."
