A CREWE garage has offered a helping hand to a charity that supports young people with disabilities.

Members of the Central Cheshire Buddy Scheme (CCBS) provides activity clubs for children and young people with disabilities, as well as advice, information and support to parents and carers of a disabled child.

Crewe Tyre and Exhaust has now pledged free secure parking and support for its vehicle’s tyres, exhausts and batteries over the next five years.

Stephanie Lawley, project manager for CCBS, said: “The support offered by Crewe Tyre and Exhaust is absolutely brilliant and is a great help to the charity.

“It means that any funds that we raise will be used to take the children on trips and activities, rather than on running the bus.

“The garage offering its help means that we know the bus will be safely parked overnight and any additional costs for tyres, exhausts and batteries will be covered, which will be one less thing for the buddies team to worry about.”

Eric Harrison, owner of Crewe Tyre and Exhaust added: “We are very impressed with the work that Cheshire Buddies do to support children and young people with disabilities and this was a perfect opportunity for us to support them.”
