Christmas is an exciting time, full of gifts, fun and laughter. But for some, this may not be the case. Mission Christmas - Cash for Kids lends a helping hand to disabled and disadvantaged children aged 0 to 18 years across 22 areas in the UK by means of the grant giving process. In 2017, Cash for Kids raised a huge £23.1 million, supporting 716,870 children and young people. Each year, all the funds remain in the area they were raised in providing a helping hand when and where it is needed most. West Way are encouraging people to buy an extra gift when doing their Christmas shopping and to donate this at one of the local drop off points, with the aim of making this Christmas happy for sick and disadvantaged kids. The gifts must be:
- New
- Unwrapped
- Suitable for children & young people aged 0-18 years
There are thousands of locations being used as drop off points including West Way Southampton. Alternatively, you can find your nearest drop off point here.
Our Southampton dealership has also gone one step further and has donated a Nissan X-Trail for the duration of the campaign to ferry around Samantha Tanner – Charity Manager, and the abundance of presents they will be inundated with. Keep your eyes peeled on the streets of Southampton for the Mission Christmas X-Trail and send us a picture if you spot it!
