Auto Sportiva believe in giving to worthy causes both within our local community and the wider world.
We support a handful of charities that have personal value because we believe that whether the gesture is grand or small, it’s always important to give back wherever possible. We want to give you more insight into the amazing work that the charities we support do:
Battersea Dogs and Cats Home
Battersea work tirelessly to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome animals needing a new start in life. They use their platform and voice to speak on behalf of the animals who don’t have one and we find the work they do completely admirable. They also campaign for those living in flats to own pets to reduce the number of animals coming into the care of Battersea due to housing conditions.
Reverse Rett
Rett Syndrome is a neurological condition which affects healthy young girls usually between the age of 1 and 2. Rett Syndrome attacks the brain and leaves girls with multiple disabilities and complexities that last a lifetime and ultimately become life limiting. Rett causes a decline on children’s milestones and can reverse their developmental stages this can include a child losing their ability to walk and talk. Reverse Rett supports major investigation into the reversal of the condition, they have proven in mice that gene therapy can reverse the symptoms of Rett. They work extremely hard pushing for medical advances and hope that their research into mice can be transferred to young girls too.
Hospice In the Weald
Based in West Kent and Northern East Sussex, Hospice in the Weald provides care for patients with life limiting illnesses, this is often referred to as palliative care. Hospice in the Weald are available 24 hours a day to support patients and families who require the services of the hospice. Their services are tailored to each patient and their family to ensure that the right care is provided case to case. Their work is paramount to terminally ill patients and their families in making them feel comfortable and supported at all stages.
Oxfam
Poverty is a major issue worldwide, there is no question about this. Oxfam works with people around the globe raising money to fight this issue, both with employed staff and volunteers. On average for every £1 Oxfam spends, 83p is spent on emergency, development and campaigning, 10p goes towards support and running costs and 7p is invested to generate future income. Oxfam has been working since 1942 to combat poverty around the globe and their work makes leaps and bounds in making the world an accessible place to as many people as possible.
RSPCA
The RSPCA is another pet and animal welfare charity, campaigning and fighting to end cruelty for animals around the UK. The RSPCA were the first to enforce a law protecting animals and work hard to ensure that animals don’t have to live in pain or suffering. Through investigations and prosecutions, the RSPCA stand up to those that deliberately harm animals to ensure others learn a valuable lesson.
We think that these charities do fantastic work and will continue to promote and support them proudly for a long time to come. If you want to show your support to these charities head over to their websites and see how you can help.
