Charities benefit from motor retailer’s diamond anniversary

Plymouth-based bereavement charity Jeremiah’s Journey is among six Westcountry charities to each receive a £10,000 boost to their coffers thanks to motor retailer Snow’s Group who have a Toyota outlet at Langage in Plympton.

To mark the company’s 60th birthday SnowsMission60 was launched to raise £60,000 to be split among charities chosen by the company’s staff.

Colleagues were given the opportunity to nominate local charities to be considered as part of Mission 60, and after a final companywide vote the charities chosen were: Second Chance Animal Rescue, Jeremiah’s

A whole range of fundraising activities were staged throughout 2022, including hair shaves, football matches and a 600 mile static cycling challenge to name just a few.

The beneficiary charities are now being presented with their cheques, with the one here being presented recently to Jeremiah’s Journey outside Snow’s Langage showrooms.

A spokesperson for the company said: “We know the money raised will be going directly back into helping the people and communities who have supported us over the last 60 years.”
