BP Rolls choose Help for Heroes as Charity for 2019

BP Rolls are pleased to announce their support of Help for Heroes as their charity of the year for 2019.

Help for Heroes supports those with injuries and illnesses attributable to their service in the British Armed Forces. No matter when someone served, we believe that those prepared to put their lives second, deserve a second chance at life. Every course and activity they offer aims to empower them to look beyond illness and injury, regain their purpose, reach their potential and have a positive impact on society.

With the British Army Land Forces Headquarters based at Monxton, Andover, the nearby garrisons of Middle Wallop, Tidworth, Perham Down, Bulford and Larkhill on our doorstep, we felt that as a business we needed to do something to show our appreciation for the troops who serve and have served our country. In 2018 BP Rolls Group signed the Armed Forces Covenant and pledged to support the military community in Andover and the surrounding area and announced a 15% military discount off our standard labour rates, for serving personnel, spouses, reservists, veterans, and civil servants, as well as added extras such as complimentary valeting, and collection and delivery from camp*.

This year we wanted to take this a step further and after meeting with a regional fundraiser for Help for Heroes, we decided that we wanted to collaborate with them and help raise money for the Tedworth House rehabilitation centre in Tidworth. We have some veterans among our employees who know first hand the challenges faced by those who have served our country, and we are all in agreement that this charity is a worthy cause.

“Like many people in the Andover area, I have a personal military connection with three generations of my family serving in the armed forces and as a company located in an area surrounded by a vast military community, Help for Heroes is an obvious choice for collaboration with BP Rolls. The work they do at Tedworth House to rehabitate our servicemen and women is incredible and we hope that we can support them with a number of donations throughout 2019.

We now have a collection box with wristbands and pin badges on sales in our customer reception area, and we have a number of things planned throughout the year to raise money for this amazing cause, starting with a business networking event in March.

If you are millitary personnel, reservist, veteran, spouse or civil servant and you would like to book your car in with BP Rolls MOT & Service Centre, just call our friendly customer service team on 01264 361516.
