Vauxhall Motors employees have raised an incredible £250,000 for Help for Heroes.
The cheque was handed over to former soldier and charity ambassador Private Derek Derenalagi at a ceremony at Vauxhall’s headquarters in Luton last week.
Staff have created many different challenges and initiatives to raise the cash since Vauxhall started supporting Help For Heroes in 2010.
Derek said: “The money raised by Vauxhall has made a valuable contribution to improving the lives of our heroes, many of whom have suffered life-changing injuries. On behalf of Help for Heroes I would like to thank all Vauxhall employees for their hard work and commitment to the charity.”
Vauxhall employees have cycled from London to Paris, regularly taken on the Three Peaks Challenge, held cake sales and dress-down for work days as well as hosting The Vauxhall Male Voice Choir annual Christmas carol concert to raise money.
