Vauxhall Motors has handed over a huge cheque for £250,000 to Help for Heroes, following a fundraising initiative by staff.<\/p>\n
A number of different schemes and events have been held to raise money for the charity since Vauxhall took the decision to support it in 2010, reports Luton Today.<\/p>\n
The money was handed over in the form of a cheque last week, with former soldier and Help for Heroes ambassador Private Derek Derenalagi receiving it.<\/p>\n
He said: "The money raised by Vauxhall has made a valuable contribution to improving the lives of our heroes, many of whom have suffered life-changing injuries."<\/p>\n
Among the initiatives run by Vauxhall's staff in a bid to raise money for the charity were a cycle ride from London to Paris, an annual Christmas carol concert and the Three Peaks Challenge.<\/p>\n
Mr Derenalagi added Help for Heroes is delighted with the sum and would like to thank Vauxhall employees for their hard work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
