The six year anniversary of Circus Starr and Swansway Motor Group partnership has been marked with another cheque presentation.

A further £1700 has been donated by the Crewe-based car firm Swansway Motor Group.

The car group's latest donation comes as part of a six-year long collaboration with the non-profit organisation - aiming to spread the magic of the circus to disadvantaged children and families.

The Dane Mill Business Centre charity has more cause for celebration, as they are celebrating their 35th anniversary of sharing joy.

And in April, it was announced this partnership has so far seen an incredible £90,000 donated to the non-profit community interest company.

So by next April, at the current rate of donations, it may very well be possible that the partnership donation total passes six-figures.

Swansway Motor Group's latest donation, comes thanks to the sale of 85 Motability vehicles in April, May and June.

To celebrate the £1700 worth of funding, team member from the Swansway Chester Peugeot dealership visited Circus Starr at a recent show in Chester.

For every vehicle sold on the Motability Scheme, Swansway Motor Group donated £20 to enable a child and their carer to attend a Circus Starr show. 

Swansway Motor Group and Circus Starr received a special thank you card from one of the attendees of the Chester show, saying that they had the best time.

Sarah Hall, communications and engagement manager at Circus Starr, said: "We would like to say thank you for the ongoing support of Swansway, their latest donation will fund tickets for vulnerable children and families to make new, exciting and treasured memories together on our Autumn tour starting 7 September.

"It was also great to see members from the Swansway Chester Peugeot dealership at our Chester show, another sign of Swansway's continued support."
