Land Rover donates 60 vehicles to the Red Cross

Posted: 8:15am, 9 July 2008


As part of its 60th anniversary celebrations, Land Rover is donating 60 vehicles to the British Red Cross Society and other national societies around the world

The vehicles were officially handed over to Prince Charles (President of the Red Cross) This year also marks the 100th anniversary of the Royal Charter being granted to The British Red Cross by HM King Edward VII.

Half of the vehicles will be used internationally delivering vital supplies and emergency response personnel. The rest will be used throughout the UK to help with regional operations such as local flooding, off-road emergencies and public events. Some will be converted for use as an ambulance.

Phil Popham, Managing Director of Land Rover said: "We are delighted to celebrate our 60th anniversary by donating 60 much-needed vehicles to the Red Cross. Land Rovers have optimal capabilities for harsh and remote terrain access and this donation will ensure that those who are most in need are reached quickly and effectively. We already have an association with the Red Cross through the Land Rover G4 Challenge and this donation furthers that relationship."
