The committee had the pleasure of presenting a total of £8,365 to local charities raised over three events held in 2025.
In April the DVVC held their annual tractor run which covered 13 miles of scenic countryside, there was also a charity auction on the day and a total of £3,480 was raised on behalf of the Air Ambulance NI, which currently costs approximately £8,200 to operate the ambulance each day.
In June the annual vintage rally was held in aid of Care for cancer and £3,530 was raised to support care for local cancer patients.
Finally in August DVVC held their vintage and classic car run which included a visit to a private car collection owned by committee member John Aiken. £1,355 was raised for Multiple Sclerosis, Castlederg, which will go towards funding local care in the surrounding area.
The committee wishes to thank everyone who generously supported their events and hope to see you again in 2026.
