Wrexham car dealership helps raise over £6,500 for Circus Starr

A new and used car dealership with showrooms in Wrexham has raised over £6,500 for not-for-profit organisation, Circus Starr

Swanasway Motor Group, which owns Wrexham Volkswagen and Volkswagen Van Centre Wrexham, has supported the charitable organisation for the last seven years.

It provides entertainment for children with disabilities, and families facing challenges such as domestic violence, low incomes, or bereavement

For every vehicle sold at a Swansway dealership on the Motability scheme, £25 is donated to enable a child and their carer to attend a Circus Starr show. This includes sales at Wrexham locations:

The £6,675 for Circus Starr is the most recent donation since the partnership reached the £100,000 landmark.

It follows the sale of 267 vehicles in July, August, and September of this year.

Circus Starr begins their next tour in January, with shows taking place up and down the UK from the 10^th of January 2024 to the 2nd of February 2024.

Sarah Hall, Communications and Engagement Manager at Circus Starr said: “At Circus Starr, we really appreciate Swansway Motor Group’s ongoing support, over the past seven years, the relationship has gone from strength to strength, with their donations helping us to provide the magic of the Circus to children who unfortunately would otherwise miss out on such opportunities.

“We’re looking forward to what the partnership brings going forward and to see their donations taking effect in North Wales on our Winter tour.”

David Smyth said: “It was brilliant that we were able to follow up the £100,000 landmark donation with an impactful donation this Autumn.

“Over the past seven years, I’ve been privileged to see the phenomenal and meaningful work that Circus Starr carries out and we’re looking forward to seeing what the future of the partnership brings.”
