Vauxhall supports Help for Heroes
Help for Heroes was set up in October 2007 by Bryn and Emma Parry who wanted to do something practical to help the men and women of our Armed Forces who are injured while serving our country.
Help for Heroes is a strictly non political or critical charity, who simply want to help those wounded in battle. This truly British charity aims to raise millions to support our wounded and Vauxhall as a proud British brand, wants to play its part. Through the VXR Power Events and other national and local activities through 2010 and beyond, Vauxhall aims to raise thousands of pounds for Help for Heroes.
Vauxhall employees, retailers, agencies and customers will all be getting involved in the fundraising campaign.
You too can be part of Vauxhall's fundraising effort by supporting the VXR Power Events.

I've done the VXR track days before and highly recommend them! Really good value for money - good time on the track using Vauxhall's cars rather than your own and lunch is always good!! I'll def be doing one again this year!
