Earlier this week, Shak's Vehicle Valeting attended our Sunbeams groups and presented us with a donation of £500.
The family had an adult son with Down syndrome, called Shak, who died in 2020 and the vehicle valeting business was created in his memory.
They told us that Sunshine & Smiles are a charity very close to their hearts and that they had raised this generous donation by asking their customers to support us for every car the Shak's team valeted in August.
Thank you so much, Shak's Vehicle Valeting
