Our 2024 event was a bumper success, raising £12,000 for charity and bringing our total raised since 2013 to £58,500!​
​​
Our long running partner and principle beneficiary is the Lymm Heritage Centre, to whom we donated £3,000 to help with their ongoing maintenance costs.
​
Every year we also donate to those local societies that provide us with volunteers on the day of the event. This year those groups received £6,000 and included the Warrington East Explorer Scouts, Lymm Swimming Club, Lymm Air Cadets, Lymm Rugby Club, Seven Springs, St Rocco's Hospice, 4th Lymm Scouts, 6th Lymm Brownies and Lymm High PTA. Testimonials include:
​
"A huge thank you to the Transport Day organisers, Lymm Swimming Club are extremely grateful for your donation. This will enable us to continue with the Transport Day bursary and train two teenage members of the club to become volunteer swimming teachers, which will benefit the children of Lymm and the surrounding community. We are over the moon!" Pam, Lymm Swimming Club
​
"This donation will go a long way to help the squadron maintain, develop, and purchase new training aids. Examples of activities that we self-fund are air rifle shooting, clay target shooting, adventure training including DofE, first aid training, synthetic flight training (flight simulators) and much more. We're always looking to expand in these areas and I'm positive that we can put the donation to use to help expand the opportunities our cadets get with us. " Louis, Lymm Air Cadets
​
"Wow that is a fantastic amount, thank you so much. The Explorers are fundraising for an International Expedition to the Azores in 2025, where they will learn about a new culture, Scouting in another country, wildlife and adventure. This donation means that no child gets left behind regardless of their financial/domestic situation." Rebecca, Warrington East Scouts
​
"We are very grateful for the support for our Guiding international trip to Belgium." Jan, 6th Brownies
​​
We then gave the remaining £3,000 to other national charities that have a transport link. This year, they were Bikeability, who help teach kids how to ride bikes safely and loan bikes to children who cannot afford to buy them; the Cheshire Blood Bikes who deliver emergency blood supplies for NHS hospitals; the RNLI whose lifeboats and crew do incredible work saving lives at sea; Riding for the Disabled, who provide horse riding lessons for people with disabilities; and the Wooden Canal Boat Society, who restore historic boats.
