Over the festive period The Peter Vardy Foundation gave a total of  £18,000 to its dealer network to buy food for nominated organisations in their area.

Each of Peter Vardy’s twelve sites received £1500 which they used to buy food that was in turn donated to local Foodbanks, and distributed from there to people in crisis.

Martyn Bellshaw, director of Anderston Community Action and the Peter Vardy Chaplain, said: “Food poverty is a massive problem and the company’s wish is to provide practical help for people in immediate need.

“Our key aim is to support local communities and make a difference – transforming lives, transforming communities. We are supporting local bodies which provide a strong local service for people in need.”

In addition to its Glasgow CarStore ,the Peter Vardy Group operates Vauxhall dealerships in Aberdeen, Perth, Kirkcaldy, Edinburgh, Motherwell and Dalgety Bay and five prestige dealerships selling Jaguar, Land Rover, Porsche, BMW and MINI. The group devotes 10 per cent of its profits annually to worthwhile community enterprises, allowing it to beneficially affect lives across Scotland. Recent beneficiaries have included Children in Need, Teen Challenge, MacMillan Coffee Morning, Christian Aid and Living Below the Line.
