PEOPLE in the Wellington area are being invited to support an Explorer scout group and Headway Somerset by having their cars washed at a fundraiser on Saturday (May 12).

Rumwell Farm Shop and the Wellington Explorer Scout Group have teamed up to raise money for the charity and the scout group from 10am-4pm.

Headway Somerset provides social and cognitive rehabilitation for adults with brain injury and support and respite for their families through its four Brain Injury Centres.

Explorers are young adults between 14 and 18 years old. They meet once a week in an Explorer Scout Unit. Explorers can gain a wide range of badges and awards, particularly activity badges. These can range from canoeing and mountain biking to sports and public relations.

Simon Cook, Leader of the Wellington Explorer Scout Group, said: “We’re delighted to be able to raise money for a local charity and also for our own activities. Thanks goes to Rumwell Farm Shop for asking us if we would like to be involved. We hope lots of people in the area get behind the fundraiser and pop along with their dirty vehicles. The Explorer scouts will be raring to go.”

The car wash will be held in the Rumwell Farm Shop car park and will cost £4 per vehicle with £2 going to the Explorer Scouts and £2 to Headway Somerset.
