Rybrook BMW is offering three electric cars to charities in Shropshire

Rybrook BMW in Shrewsbury has already loaned a BMW i3 to Foodbank Plus in the town, and is now inviting other charities in the area to make use of its 'community cars'.

Marketing executive Georgie Dixon said the company was making three cars available for use by good causes in the area.

She said the company was offering two BMW i3s and also a Mini Electric which were available for short-term use by charities or community groups.

"This could be to deliver groceries or food parcels, the pick-up or delivery of medication or even the collection of clothes or computers and educational donations," she said.

"At times we can all feel hopeless, but what we can do is be kind to one other and give back where we can. Rybrook are proud to be part of such a supportive community and hope that we can help make ‘giving back’ a little easier. Together we can make a difference."

Anybody interested in making use of the cars can email Jessie Hinds on jessie.hinds@rybrook.co.uk or telephone 01743 467467.
