West Way Nissan is delighted to announce it is supporting WellChild, one of the leading children’s health charities in the UK, as its official charity partner.
The partnership will see West Way’s 14 dealerships help with local fundraising activities, West Way staff get involved with WellChild’s programmes, and the dealer group provide vehicles to support the charity’s life-changing work.
West Way has a proud history of supporting both local and national charities and Managing Director Jon Roberts said: ‘‘This is a really exciting new partnership for West Way.
‘‘WellChild are a charity I’ve worked with before, so I’m familiar with incredible work they do which makes a real difference to the lives of families with sick children across the UK.
‘‘WellChild have consistently gone above and beyond to provide invaluable care for kids through innovation and going the extra mile. We’re hoping to use their work as inspiration for staff morale and teambuilding as well as supporting their new initiatives.’’
The Chief Executive of WellChild, Colin Dyer, said: ‘‘We are delighted to have this new partnership with West Way and we know their energetic and practical support will be invaluable as we carry out our work for seriously ill children and their families all across the UK.
‘‘We would like to thank West Way, their staff and all their customers for supporting WellChild.’’
WellChild is a charity for seriously ill children and their families. Through a nationwide network of children’s nurses working within the NHS, bedroom and garden transformation projects and family training, information and support services, WellChild exists to give this growing population of children and young people the best chance to thrive – properly supported at home instead of in hospital, together with their families.
With less than two per cent of income coming from statutory sources, WellChild is wholly reliant on the support of individuals and organisations.
The Covid-19 outbreak has seen the charity lose up to 60 per cent of projected income as fundraising events and activities are cancelled or postponed.
West Way is the largest Nissan dealer group in the UK, with 14 dealerships across the North West, the Midlands, the South and London.
