FOUNDATION GOES ELECTRIC WITH EUROPCAR
Europcar Mobility Group UK is bringing electric mobility to the Matt Hampson Foundation with partnership renewal for a third year.
An electric Ford Transit van has been supplied to help support the Foundation’s events and day-to-day operations, with sustainability at the forefront of the partnership.
“Having a van available to shift the range of adapted equipment for injured young people has been invaluable to the Matt Hampson Foundation since we donated a first vehicle in 2024,” said Tim Morris, Marketing & eCommerce Director, Europcar Mobility Group UK & Ireland.
“Now, with sustainability front of mind, we are delighted to be able to provide the latest electric motoring technology, enabling the foundation to reduce its tailpipe emissions on every journey.”
Created by Matt Hampson after his own life-changing injury, the Foundation supports and inspires young people seriously injured through sport. Its Get Busy Living Centre to provides physical and emotional support including specialist physiotherapy, personal training, wellbeing services and mentorship.
Facilities are being expanded this year to support even more injured young people and their families.
“We are delighted to renew the partnership with Europcar for a third year and even more excited to bring electric motoring to our activities,” said Matt.
“Having a high-quality vehicle to transport equipment ensures we can make our events and beneficiary experience days possible. The van is also vital for deliveries and collections which would otherwise incur costs, using funds that could be better spent on supporting beneficiaries.
“The fact we can now do all of that in a more environmentally-friendly way is incredibly important for our long-term mission.”
