Hereford KGM continues community support with £2,000 donation to St Michael’s Hospice

KGM Motors UK, formerly SsangYong, is proud to recognise the continued community support shown by Hereford KGM, following a successful fundraising initiative for St Michael’s Hospice.

Throughout August, the Kings Acre Road-based retailer pledged £100 to St Michael’s Hospice from the sale of every car, raising a total of £2,000 for the Herefordshire charity. The donation reflects Hereford KGM’s ongoing commitment to supporting local causes and helping organisations that make a meaningful difference in the community.

The fundraising took place alongside Hereford Motor Group’s wider support for the Hospice’s Refuel the Journey, Power the Care campaign, which raised £67,000 thanks to strong community backing and generous match funders. The campaign supports St Michael’s Hospice as it continues to provide free care for patients, families and carers affected by terminal illness.

Hereford Motor Group has also previously provided five KGM Tivoli vehicles to St Michael’s Hospice to support its Hospice at Home team, helping staff reach patients and families across the local area. This latest donation adds to a strong summer of community fundraising for the dealership, which also raised an impressive £4,000 for We Are Farming Minds following a month-long fundraising campaign and charity classic car show held at its Kings Acre Road site on Saturday 11 July.

Samantha Davies, Director at Hereford Motor Group, said “We are proud to continue supporting St Michael’s Hospice and the incredible work they do for patients and families across Herefordshire. The charity is deeply valued in our local community and our dealership, and we are pleased that our August car sales initiative has helped raise a further £2,000 towards its vital care services.

“Supporting local charities is very important to us as a business. Whether through fundraising, events or practical vehicle support, we want to play an active role in helping organisations that make a real difference to people across Herefordshire.”

Matt Ashcroft, Head of Fundraising at St Michael’s Hospice, said “Everyone at St Michael’s Hospice is incredibly grateful for the continued support shown by Hereford Motor Group. Not only is our Hospice at Home team reaching our community thanks to the supply of their cars, but they are also helping us to continue providing expert care through their generous fundraising.”

St Michael’s Hospice is an independent charity providing care and support to patients, families and carers affected by terminal illness. All care is provided free of charge, with the majority of the charity’s annual care costs funded by the local community through fundraising events, lottery participation, retail support, charitable donations and gifts in wills.
