What a day we had at Veloce 2024! The tarmac at Goodwood Motor Circuit must still be sizzling from the incredible cars and performance that we witnessed yesterday. From the roar of the engines, the thrilling passenger laps with racing icons and some truly spectacular rare and valuable cars showcased.   We would like to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone who came along to the greatest track day on Earth, Veloce, including, the incredible drivers including Richard Attwood, charity patron Derek Bell and Damon Hill, who shared their skills, and all the amazing guests supporting us, including Rowan Atkinson and our lucky free ticket winner – Richard Haggarty. It was wonderful to see auctioneer Thomas Forrester again, gaining bids on our behalf. Thank you. A special thank you and well done to the team at V-Management for creating yet another super event, which of course, wouldn’t be possible without Veloce’s generous sponsors and partners: Broad Arrow , HFMC Wealth, Aviva, Lockton, Krome Technologies Ltd, Boodles, Classic Motor Cars Limited and V Events. Being chosen as a charity beneficiary again this year is something we are truly grateful for, and all the funds received help us to bring cancer care closer to patients. Here’s to speed, passion and making a difference!

Progress update: our new lung health assessment unit is almost ready and coming to life! This state-of-the-art unit will bring lung health checks directly to communities in and around Manchester. Designed with and built by coachbuilders WH Bence Coachworks Ltd, every detail of NHS staff needs and patients’ journeys have been considered, from layout to materials used, making sure NHS staff and patients have a comfortable experience on board. This meticulous build process creates a mobile environment that meets the highest standards of both medical care and vehicle safety, making lung health assessments more accessible and more convenient for more people. Stay tuned and look out for future updates on this unit as it nears completion and soon makes its journey to Manchester to serve the community there.

Par for the course? Not for this golf club’s captain! Shout out to the incredible Stephen Taylor, Captain of Chipping Sodbury Golf Club for hosting a fantastic fundraising golf day in support of Hope for Tomorrow. Steve is Managing Director of Frocester Group - specialists in fire, security and engineering, who have been long-term champions and supporters of our work. Something which really shone through when some of the Frocester team conquered Mount Snowdon in the dark for our Snowdon Sunrise Challenge just last month. We’d like to say a huge thank you to Steve, Frocester Group and Chipping Sodbury Golf Club for putting on such a great day – enjoyed by all. Your efforts help us to keep our mobile cancer care units moving, in turn helping to make cancer care that bit easier for patients.

We can’t wait to see what’s next! 📷Thanks to RichMcD for capturing these snaps from the day.
