GM Jaguar Enthusiast's - Summer Fundraiser
At the Region’s May meeting, members of the GM Jaguar Enthusiast’s Club, voted to support two new charities over the next 12 months – two years – The Lighthouse Project and Springhill Hospice.
The Northern Jaguar Show, on Sunday 23rd August 2026, gave us our first opportunity to raise money for these charities and during the show the Region was able to raise £80. The Club then decided to round this up to £100.
As Chair of the club I was very pleased this week to be able to present a cheque for £100 on behalf of the Greater Manchester Region to Carl Roach from The Lighthouse Project – Pete Smith.
The Lighthouse Project is based in Middleton and supports vulnerable people within the local community in a wide variety of ways.
Its work includes providing debt advice and practical help with household bills and budgeting, as well as operating a food bank. The project also provides opportunities for people who may be lonely or isolated to meet others and enjoy some social interaction.
Other practical support includes help with banking and access to the internet for people who may not be able to afford their own Wi-Fi connection.
The Lighthouse Project is part of local charity Inspire Middleton which raises all its own funding through grants and donations. The help and support of groups and organisations is just the type of thing that we need – are you able to donate and invest in helping us tackling poverty and building a better community?
