Our charity car wash returns for 2023
Our charity car wash is back for 2023 on Wednesday 5th July to mark the 75th birthday of the NHS. We’ll be digging out our buckets and sponges, ready to get our hands dirty making your cars sparkling, all in aid of Weston Park Cancer Charity. The car wash runs around the outside of our building on Lydgate Lane. You’ll be able to pull in and drive around the stations, from wheel brushing & jet washing to shammy leather drying. Your car is sure to come out looking shiny and clean!
You’ll also be able to treat yourself to homemade cakes and savoury snacks, along with hot and cold drinks with all proceeds going to Weston Park.
Last year our charity car wash raised over £1400 for Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity, it was a fantastic day and all our staff worked really hard washing cars, selling cakes and tombola tickets, well done team! We’re gearing up to do it all again, and we’re hoping to raise even more money this year and smash our total from last year!

Why is having a defibrillator locally important?
Did you know that there are more than 30,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests every year in the UK? Sadly, fewer than one in 10 people survive this. Immediate CPR and defibrillation can more than double the chances of survival. Having a defibrillator close by is important, that’s why we are working to raise money to provide one in for our local community.
NHS 75th Birthday
Wednesday 5th July 2023 is the 75th Birthday of the NHS, so we have chosen to host our charity car wash on this date to mark this historic occasion and raise money for our local cancer charity Weston Park.

- 1968 Europe’s first liver transplant
- 1971 World’s first CT scan
- 1978 World’s first test tube baby born
