New owner takes delivery of Wellhouse Leisure's BBC Children in Need prize campervan
A Wellhouse Leisure campervan that helped to raise over £1 million for BBC Children in Need has now arrived with its new owner.
The four-berth Toyota Proace Matino, which was donated by Wellhouse Leisure and Toyota, was used as part of a text-to-win 'campervan and staycation goodies' prize package during last year's televised charity event.
The lucky winner, Molly Dry from London, collected her new £49,000 camper from the Jemca Toyota Edgware Road dealership in North London.
Molly said: “I can’t believe I’ve won. I don’t normally enter competitions, but the night I was watching BBC Children in Need, I said to a friend that I’d love a campervan, and she said go ahead and enter it then! I’m so glad I did, it’s pretty life changing to have won. The prize package means I’ll be able to get to see a lot more of the UK, starting with my first visit to Cornwall in spring.”
Molly received the keys to the campervan from David Elliott, CEO and founder of Wellhouse Leisure, who said: “It was a pleasure to meet Molly and I’m delighted she’s already joined the Wellhouse Adventures Facebook group to get lots of tips from other owners. We’re sure she’s going to have a great time exploring the UK in her campervan.”
