A FAMILY-OWNED motor group is driving impact across Cheshire by helping charities deliver vital support where it matters most - donating £10,000 to causes in the area.
Swansway Motor Group, through the ForCheshireWest Fund managed by Cheshire Community Foundation (CCF), has supported a range of community organisations across the region.
The company said it is committed to supporting causes close to home through its charitable giving.
David Smyth, director at Swansway Motor Group, said: "Investing in our local communities is something we care about, it's at the heart of who we are as a family owned business.
"Supporting charities close to home means we're helping causes that really matter to our colleagues and customers.
"By donating locally, we can see the difference it makes and that reinforces our Caring value every single day."
Among the beneficiaries is Koala North West, offering emotional and practical support to families with young children, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) in Ellesmere Port.
Bev Morgan, CEO of Koala North West, said: "We're incredibly grateful to Swansway for their generous support.
"Families with children who have Special Educational Needs and Disabilities often feel isolated navigating complex systems alone.
"Thanks to Swansway's funding, we can provide practical support, expert guidance, and the reassurance that someone is there alongside them.
"This is already making a real difference to families in Ellesmere Port, enabling us to provide the support families and their children need and deserve."
Other organisations supported include Healthbox CIC, Platform for Life, and Youth Federation, each of which offers vital community services across the region.
Simon Sandford, director at Healthbox, said Swansway's funding is helping the charity deliver counselling services for survivors of domestic abuse.
He said the support will make a meaningful impact on 'so many people who have suffered not only physical but also emotional trauma'.
Debbie Thomas, operations director at Platform for Life, said the funding has enabled the charity to offer free, tailored counselling sessions to young people and parents in low-income households.
She said these sessions focus on building 'emotional resilience, confidence, and trust' to help families manage their mental health and strengthen their sense of self-worth.
