Suzuki Donates Vitara to Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance

Suzuki GB PLC, otherwise known as Suzuki Cars UK, spreads some good will in the Scottish region when it donated a new Suzuki Vitara crossover for the use of the staff of Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA). With the additional new vehicle, the SCAA staff and volunteers can take their fundraising and life-saving message to the farthest regions of the Land of Whiskey. The donated car, a Vitara SZ-T model, will “enable SCAA to undertake a variety of nationwide assignments across Scotland,” and prove to be a real workhorse for the non-profit organization. "With the imminent launch of our second helicopter seeing us operate from both Perth and Aberdeen airports, our staff and volunteers find themselves travelling further and more often,” Nick Harvey, Director of Fundraising and Communications at SCAA, said. “The use of a Suzuki Vitara will make a huge difference for the charity team as a support vehicle for all our fundraising, public engagement and community events." Harvey said that having the Vitara in its stable means having a “high-profile mode of transport” for his organization. “This is a huge boost and we can't thank Suzuki enough for their generous support,” he added. “Contributions of this kind help us to raise public awareness of our work, enabling SCAA to raise more money which results in our expert crew being able to provide more care to more people and more quickly." “They are providing us with an invaluable resource that we could never have afforded to purchase,” Harvey said in closing. With the donation from Suzuki, SCAA boosted its efforts serving across the whole of Scotland - from the Borders to the Highlands - with the charity team loving their impressive new mode of transport. “We are delighted to assist SCAA in this way,” commented Alun Parry, Head of Press and PR – Suzuki GB PLC. “We hope the Vitara SZ-T will help further raise the charity's profile and, consequently, more funds for an invaluable service. SCAA has proved a lifeline for many people across Scotland and Suzuki is pleased to give something back from the Motor Industry." Suzuki isn’t a company that shies away from doing its civic duty. It's local arm, Suzuki Philippines Incorporated (SPI), has also donated vehicles to many charity causes, such as when it donated 16 vehicles in all—consisting of two Suzuki Super Carry utility vans and 14 A-X4 motorcycles—to the ABS-CBN Lingkod Kapamilya Foundation back in 2018.
