Vauxhall is donating four support vehicles to Help for Heroes as part of its two-
year partnership with the charity. The three Astra Sport Tourers and a Vauxhall 
Movano van, decorated in the charity’s livery, were handed over to Bryn Parry, Help
for Heroes CEO and co-founder by Duncan Aldred, Vauxhall’s Managing Director.

The Astra Sport Tourers will be used to support the many fundraising events Help
for Heroes organises, and the 3.5 tonne Movano panel van will also be used to support
events such as air shows and sporting activities, mainly to transport and sell the
charity’s merchandise.

To date, Vauxhall has raised over £125,000 for Help for Heroes, money which is used
by the charity to help those wounded in Britain’s current conflicts.

Bryn Parry, Help for Heroes CEO and co-founder, said: “Help for Heroes’ fundraising
events take place across the UK and Europe and a range of vehicles are needed to
successfully support them. The addition of three Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourers and
the Movano means Help for Heroes staff will be able to travel in comfortable, practical
vehicles that I’m sure they will enjoy driving. Help for Heroes extends its gratitude
once again to Vauxhall.”
