At Solera Audatex, we believe in using our platform to support meaningful causes and give back to the communities we serve. That’s why we were proud to donate our AutoRaise Rally Mini Cooper to a special fundraising raffle held in partnership with James Alpe Ltd, the expert team who restored the vehicle for the 2023 AutoRaise Rally.
The goal? To raise vital funds for Lagan’s Foundation, a charity dedicated to supporting children with heart defects and feeding difficulties, as well as the families who care for them.
On the day of the draw, Lagan’s Foundation selected the winning ticket — and we’re excited to congratulate Spencer Hayes Group, who are now the proud new owners of the Mini Cooper.
Thanks to the support of the raffle participants and the commitment of everyone involved, £1,133.00 was raised for Lagan’s Foundation. These funds will go directly towards the charity’s mission of providing home healthcare and support services to families in need across the UK.
The Mini Cooper itself has had a unique journey. Originally driven by Team Solera Audatex in the 2023 AutoRaise Rally — a spirited industry event that brings the automotive repair community together — it stood as a symbol of teamwork, innovation, and shared values. James Alpe Ltd brought the vehicle back to pristine condition, making it the perfect centrepiece for this fundraising initiative.
This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to social responsibility and our belief that the automotive sector can be a powerful force for good. We’d like to extend our sincere thanks to James Alpe Ltd, Lagan’s Foundation, and everyone who purchased a ticket to support this important cause.
Together, we’re driving change — one mile, and one act of generosity, at a time.
