Charity of the Year

Our ‘Charity of the Year’ is an individual charity that we support for a 12 month period.

The Burnaston, Derbyshire, and Deeside, North Wales plants of the Trust are committed to giving back to their local communities. As part of this commitment, the Trust nominates a charity to support each year. The nominated charity is selected based on the results of the Trust's annual fundraising activities, and the chosen charity receives a significant donation early the following year.

The Trust is happy to support any UK-based charity, but it ideally prefers to support charities that spend their funds in the local communities around the Trust's plants. However, this is not a requirement, and the Trust will consider all eligible charities.

Children with Cancer UK

Our 2023 Nominated Charity.

We are delighted that Children with Cancer UK has been selected as our Charity of the Year for 2023 and, following our fundraising last year, received a cheque for £50,000 in March.

Around 4,200 children and young people are diagnosed with cancer every year in the UK. Children with Cancer UK have been working tirelessly since 1988 to fund research and initiatives that support children and their families through cancer.

The Toyota Manufacturing (UK) Charitable Trust are proud to support this much needed charity whose vision is a world where every child and young person survives cancer.

Around 10 children and young people are diagnosed with cancer every day in the UK.

8 out of 10 young childhood cancer patients can be successfully treated thanks to vital, specialist research we helped fund.

We are working to develop safer, kinder & more effective childhood cancer therapies, with fewer toxic side effects.

We invest in childhood cancer research that would otherwise go unfunded.

Thank you Toyota

The 2024 Charity Partner

How We Choose a Charity Partner

Charities are chosen each year by canvassing our Members who put forward suggestions for deserving causes for which they have a passion.  Some may even have their own moving, personal stories which steers them to a particular cause. 

A shortlist is subsequently created from which Members will vote.  The charity with the most votes is selected.

In order to reach out to as many worthy charities as possible the Trust has committed to support one Nominated Charity each year.

Please note that charities cannot apply for this opportunity. The selection process is driven by the Trust's members.
