The Endless Summer VW Show raises £10,000!
This year, the Endless Summer VW Show took place in Popham Airfield in support of Naomi House & Jacksplace, raising an incredible £10,000 for life limited and life threatened children and young adults who visit our hospices.
The Endless Summer VW show celebrates the passion for Volkswagen cars, from vintage Beetles, iconic 1960s campervans and specially modded cars, to Transporters and colourful vehicles on display. On it's 9th year running, the event welcomed over 600 VW vehicles, with many car enthusiasts and attendees gathering for a fun family day out.
Tash Haji, Senior Community Fundraiser, said:
Supporting us since 2015, the VW Show was a hit for families and car enthusiasts alike, offering a day filled with fun, food, music and camaraderie, and the spirit of giving. There was a lineup of over 500 Volkswagens on the day and the atmosphere was amazing. It's very meaningful to see the continued support from the attendees every year.
During the day there was a fun raffle, many local food vendors with delicious food options like burgers and brownies as well as local traders who were selling crafts. Attendees also enjoyed a live music performance from the rock band Revenant.
Since their first event in 2015, the Endless Summer VW Show has raised over £36,000 in funds to date for Naomi House & Jacksplace. This could fund over 1500 hours of expert nursing care for the children and young adults who visit our hospices and wouldn't be possible without the incredible support the show receives from local communities every year.
Pete and Sophie, Endless Summer VW Show organisers, said:
We love doing what we do! Yes, it's tough planning all year round for one day but when things get tough for us, we just think about how hard it must be for the children, young adults and their families that need Naomi House and Jacksplace in their lives. We will continue to support the charity by holding the Endless Summer VW show for as long as possible.
