FERNDOWN car buyer, We Want Any Car, is living up to its name this Christmas after launching a toy car appeal in support of Barnardo’s.

The company, which is located at The Pear Tree Business Centre in Cobham Road, is looking to people who are clearing out their old toys ahead of Christmas to donate unwanted toy cars.

These will be delivered to the local Barnardo’s retail branch to help raise money for the charity.

Dave Parry from We Want Any Car said: “At this time of year it is important that we remember those children that may be in less fortunate circumstances and how we can help them. Our name says we want any car so we thought we’d use this to help Barnardo’s.

“We’re appealing to local businesses and residents to support our campaign, but even if people can’t bear to part with their old Matchbox, Tonka or Hot Wheels, we will be working with toy retailers to ensure that we deliver on our promise to Barnardo’s. We will be donating at least one car for every car we buy in the run up to Christmas.”

People in Ferndown who would like to support the We Want Any Car Christmas Car appeal simply need to drop off their old toy cars to branch at Suite 15C, The Pear Tree Business Centre, Cobham Road.
