Campervan, motorhome and caravan insurance specialists Caravan Guard and Leisuredays have continued their tradition of giving back by donating £1,650 to Happy Days as part of its Birthday Giving Initiative.
Over the last nine months, every Caravan Guard and Leisuredays team member has received a small birthday hamper – and for each one, the company has donated the equivalent value to Happy Days to fund toiletries for people experiencing homelessness, living in the Winter Shelter, in emergency accommodation, or accessing food parcels.
The initiative began with a simple idea: to spread a little joy. Each donated amount has helped fill the charity’s “birthday pot”, enabling Happy Days to gift their service users with essential toiletries and pamper items to help them feel valued on their own birthdays.
Caravan Guard presented Happy Days with a cheque for £1,650 – representing the full value donated through the fundraising initiative. The company also created a sample toiletries hamper for the charity to share with its service users.
And better still, the full £1,650 was doubled through the Big Give campaign, meaning even more support for those who need it most.
Caravan Guard’s Associate Director, Laura Wilby, said their giving back initiative was a meaningful way to extend their staff birthday celebrations beyond the business.
“Care completely is one of our core values, and this allows us to put that into practice all year round,” said Laura.
“Knowing that each staff birthday is helping someone in crisis feel supported and celebrated is incredibly special. We’re delighted our donation will be doubled through the Big Give and hope it brings comfort to many people who rely on Happy Days’ fantastic services.”
Sharon Robins, Corporate Relationship Manager at Happy Days UK, said the partnership has had a huge impact.
“We’re so grateful to Caravan Guard for their creativity, kindness and commitment,” she commented.
“These toiletries aren’t just practical items – they help people feel valued, especially those living in our Winter Shelter or facing real hardship.
“The birthday hampers will bring so much joy, and this donation being doubled will make an even bigger difference to the people we support.”
Caravan Guard continues to champion local charities through donations, fundraising and community initiatives, with tens of thousands of pounds given each year.
