Fourteen fantastically festive Mini cars brought smiles and presents as well as fundraising a fantastic £730.

On Saturday 14^th December, North West Minis set off on a trip from Broughton via Bala and Corwen to finish up at Tŷ Gobaith children’s hospice in the Conwy Valley to make a very generous donation of gifts and funds.

Club members with just a selection of the gifts and treats

Almost 30 members made the trip to deliver gifts they had purchased themselves. They enjoyed a tour of the unique facilities, tea and cakes and put on a light display for children and families who attend the hospice.

One of the club members, Lisa Harbour is also a lawyer for Swayne Johnson Solicitors who themselves are big supporters of the hospice.

Proud support

Lisa said: “North West Minis and Swayne Johnson are both incredibly proud to support this wonderful cause in any way we can.

“It was a privilege to visit properly and bring smiles to the faces of children and families there with our quirky cars.

“We dressed our Minis up in lights, tinsel and even a Christmas tree at a nearby carpark and arrived in convoy.

“It’s such a beautiful place and we’re thrilled so many people made it.”
