Hello faithful readers it has been
another adventurous week at KAM as we fight away more gremlins and get you back
on the road. We have seen an influx of air conditioning faults over the past
week as the erratic weather patterns continue. The warm weather is expected to
continue so to save yourself from the heat come down to KAM Servicing and let
us keep you cool for (the intermittently hot days of) the summer.
The Olympics has finally ended after a glorious
2 and a half weeks of sporting pageantry and triumph it is time for the
comedown. But we can look back on a spectacle of sport, which has provided us
with some everlasting memories. From Mo Farah to Jessica Ennis the athletics
were must see television and have created new sporting superstars. Our fantastic
athletes won 65 medals, of which 29 were gold. This was the best total since
1908 and I for one am going to miss watching all the thrilling sports that have
entertained us. Gold for Andy Murray and the continued brilliance of Usain Bolt
are just some of the highlights and all I can say is bring on Rio 2016.
This week we do not bring you the heroics of the KAM team
bust instead we would like to tell you all about the heroics of the Canaan
Trust. The Canaan Trust is a Christian charity that helps the homeless in
Nottingham and the surrounding areas. Having been established since 1995, they
do very important work in helping homeless people get back on their feet. They
provide accommodation and many other services from counselling to education.
KAM have partnered with the Canaan Trust and are hoping to make a difference to
Erewash’s homeless.
KAM Servicing is proud to be sponsoring the Canaan
Trust and we were very happy to provide our ‘twuck wid da fwashin lights’ for
their second bed push on Saturday 11th August. The push was launched
from Beeston town square by Mayor Margaret Handley and the KAM team were there
to support the cause. Amazing Antony and Super Sara were on hand to drive the
accompanying ‘twuck’ to keep all the volunteers safe on the road. The
volunteers gave out informational flyers to passersby and carried donation
buckets, which the pubic filled very generously.
The group then made their way over to our newly opened Beeston depot for
a special presentation. Here they were met by the KAM boys, Super Sunny,
Fearless Frank and Tornado Tyla who all joined in the festivities. In a short
break from gremlin hunting the boys all took the time to show their support for
the cause and even tipped their own money into the collecting buckets.
It was also here that KAM were delighted
to present the Canaan Trust with a £250 donation. The cheque was presented by our
very own Super Sunny and Rickee the Rockstar to Canaan Trust manager Kevin
Curtis who was very happy with KAM’s contribution.
He said: “We want say a big thank you to
Som and all at KAM Servicing for helping us, for sponsoring all our promotional
banners and for the generous cheque for £250 to help support our work.
“The amount they donated is very generous
and it will help us to carry put the vital services we provide for the
homeless. Thank you to everyone
who has donated so far and hopefully we can raise more money and continue to
get more people off the street.”
The money raised is still being counted
but it will all be put towards the £125,000 needed to keep the Canaan Trust
running each year. KAM wanted to help out because of our close ties to
Nottingham and especially Long Eaton.
KAM Servicing, Area manager Senator Shaun
said: “Our business started in Long Eaton so we feel like it is our obligation
to help the people in this community. Our mechanics are out and about 7 days a
week and we have noticed that homelessness has gone up. So if we can help get
just one person get off the street it will all be worth it. The Canaan Trust
deserves our support and KAM Servicing is here to help.”
Here at KAM we are very happy to be
involved in the community, in which we opened our first garage, which continues
to be successful to this day. As our success grows so too does our desire to
help out. So come and help KAM and the Canaan Trust to put the problem of
homelessness to bed.
