The family-owned car dealer group have been a supporter of Circus Starr since 2016, donating £20 for each car they register through the Motability Scheme. £20 covers the cost of one child and their parent or care giver to attend a Circus Starr performance.

Swansway Director David Smyth said: “The number of cars sold on the Motability Scheme in the first quarter of 2019 has led to our largest ever quarterly donation to Circus Starr of £4,640; this means we can help more children attend a Circus Starr performance, which is so much more than a trip to the circus, it can be life-changing”.
Swansway have now donated around £45,000 since 2016 and they plan to continue to support the good work of Circus Starr for the remainder of 2019.
Fundraising Team Trainer, Simone Unett, explained, “It’s hard to put into words just how much we value Swansway’s support; one in twenty children are born with a disability; 4.5 million children are living in poverty and would simply never have the opportunity to see a live performance”.
“Circus Starr allows the whole family to share a truly magical experience, free of any worries, knowing their needs will be met and their senses wowed. It’s a place where families, who too often miss out on fun can relax, be themselves and feel included”, added Simone.
