Swansway Dealership donations top £40,000

The family-owned business runs Blackburn and Preston Audi, the Volkswagen Van Centre in Preston, along with Swansway Honda Bolton and has been supporting Circus Starr since January 2016, as director, David Smyth explained, “Since the beginning of 2016, we’ve been donating £20 to Circus Starr for each car we sell on the Motability scheme; that’s the cost of one child and their parent or carer going to a Circus Starr performance”.

Delighted fundraising team trainer, Simone Unett, explained, “It’s hard to put into words just how much we value Swansway’s support; one in twenty children are born with a disability; 4.5 million children are living in poverty and would simply never have the opportunity to see a live performance.”

David Smyth applauds the fun and escape from difficult everyday lives that the organisation provides. “I’m a dad of three children myself and every time I come along to support Circus Starr I’m humbled by the experience they give these children and their families. Seeing how much the children enjoy it, their smiles and their families’ smiles is very emotional for me as a Dad and I’m so proud that our family business is helping Simone and the Circus Starr team make a real difference for other families," added David.
