Since April, Bluebell Wood staff have been proudly driving in a new Toyota C-HR, courtesy of Burrows Fleet and Business Centre in Barugh Green, Barnsley.

The centre is part of the family-owned Burrows Motor Company which also operates local new and used car dealerships.

The car, complete with Bluebell Wood’s trademark purple logo, has been used on an almost daily basis by staff at the hospice.

From fundraising events to visiting families in their homes, the Burrows car has become an invaluable part of the Bluebell team.

A Burrows spokesperson said: “For another year we’re delighted to continue the strong relationship and support to a well-loved and valued local charity by loaning a car for another year.

“With the dedication and support from Bluebell Wood they have made a difference to local families and we are delighted to know that we have supported them along the way.”

As well as flying the flag for Bluebell Wood, the car has been used to visit medical conferences and go to supporter events and was even stuffed full of balloons for a fundraising challenge.

Corporate fundraising manager Rachael Dawes said: “To lease a similar car would have cost us around £4,000 so because of Burrows’ generosity we’re able to direct more vital funds towards helping local families when they need it the most.”
