Driving a banger across 10 Countries in 7 Days, 21 April 2012
We provide excellence in hospice care to support local children and young adults

Story

In September this Year we are driving across Europe 10 Countries in 7 Days in a car worth no more than £333. We will be doing this to raise money for a great local charity Naomi House and Jacksplace.

Naomi House and jacksplace are hospices for children and young adults that provide support to children and young people with conditions that mean they are unlikely to live to become adults.

The charity provides care to families and young adults living in communities across the seven counties of Berkshire, Dorset, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Surrey, West Sussex and Wiltshire.

The charity has two specialist units, Naomi House for children, and jacksplace for young adults. Each unit is purpose built and offers an appropriate environment for each age group.

It costs around £5million a year to run the two units. The charity receives around 10% of its funding from the Department of Health. The remaining £4.5million is raised by people and businesses across region.

To help us raise money for Naomi House we are selling space on the car to local businesses and are even offering the option to individuals to have your own name on the car.

We plan to have the car wrapped and signwritten some time in May, it will then be used on the road for the next 4 months until we set off across Europe. We also hope for the car to appear in the local paper and at local fund raising events to promote Naomi House and the people that have sponsored us.

If you would like your company logo on the car please contact us to arrange a donation amount and send us a pdf or eps of your logo.

To have your own personal name on the car costs £30 per person, please then send us an e-mail request with exact spelling. Even if you don't want your name on the car all sponsorship is welcome.

Space on the car is limited and is already going fast, so please send us your pdf as soon as you can.
