As part of our club activities running events for the enjoyment of our own members and our visitors we also undertake fund raising for our yearly nominated charities.
Since 1986 we have been able to present cheque donations to many local good causes as well as filling many collecting tins! Below you will find details of the two nominated charities that the Devon Vintage Car Club will be supporting during 2023. We look forward to seeing you at our club events during 2023, and don’t forget to bring your loose change with you! |

Vision impairment is one of the least common disabilities of childhood and it can be hard for these children and families to meet others in the same position.
