Back in January, we announced that Matthew's House in Swansea would receive a Citroën ë-Berlingo Van through our Driving Change For Good partnership. Six months later, the results speak for themselves. "It's made a huge difference to our operations, culture and reach," says Thom Lynch, co-founder of the charity that provides vital support at the heart of their community. The van has opened up possibilities they never had before. Volunteers can now collect massive food donations, deliver furniture to people moving from homelessness into housing, and respond to emergency calls about perishable food that would otherwise be wasted. "Recently we did a supermarket donation collection that filled over 15 trays of food – something that would have needed multiple cars before," Thom explains. The van also raises their profile around Swansea. "We don't have a budget for advertising, so this is a winner. The more visible we are, the more kind and good people know that a cool place is doing awesome things." This year they had their biggest ever half-marathon team. Sometimes the right support at the right time changes everything. As Thom puts it: "It's become a moving expression of kindness." https://www.bigissue.com/sponsored/citroen-e-berlingo-van-swansea-charity-deliver-advertorial/
