A FUNDRAISING car wash will be taking place to raise money for the 1st Wellington Scout Group and the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance.

The scout group has teamed up with Rumwell Farm Shop to raise money for the charity and the scout group on Saturday, May 21 from 10am until 4pm.

Anne Mitchell, Joint Owner of the farm shop, said: “We hope lots of people take advantage of the car wash as it is being held for two great local causes.

“Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance is our Charity of the Year and we are delighted that the scouts were happy to come on board for the fundraiser and also collect some money for their activities.”

The car wash will be held in the Rumwell Farm Shop car park and will cost £4 per vehicle with £2 going to the Wellington Scouts and £2 to the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance.

Dave Belfield, executive chairman at the 1st Wellington Scout Group, said: “We’re looking forward to the car wash and hope people in the area get behind the fundraiser and pop along with their dirty vehicles. The scouts are ready to work as a team and make each car sparkle.

“The money raised will be going towards improving the scouts camping and activities equipment benefitting all age groups across Scouts, Cubs and Beavers.”
