Cox Motor Group is always happy to support local charities and athletes, which is why we are providing the support to the following:
Lancaster Bare Rangers FC were formed in 1995 and from that very first day they have grown into the biggest Junior Football club in the area, each season see`s more enquiries to come and join us. They are one of 2 clubs playing football in the area to achieve the Charter Development Standard, this is a great testament to the way the club is overseen and run by the numerous coaches, managers and volunteers who give up their time to ensure our local boys and girls can learn to play football in a safe and enjoyable environment. Already they have enticed sponsors and have put new ideas in place to try and improve on the hard work work and foundations created by the former committee. It is exciting times for football and hopefully this will encourage even more local children to begin to take and interest in the game and maybe give it a try.

Lancaster Volkswagen are proud to sponsor Robbie Wells. Robbie has just completed a very successful year in Taekwondo becoming Junior World Champion at the UITF Worlds. He is currently on a short break before the competitions start with a vengeance again in the Midlands in the next month.
Blackpool Automart lends its name and sponsors a successful local netball team which first started playing matches way back in 1959. Their team was originally called Blackpool Netball Club then, and they've had a number of different names since, with a few team members' husbands providing a bit of sponsorship and support. The current team varies in age from mid-20's to mid-50's, and even have a mum and daughter playing, and the granddaughter is a future recruit! They've had a lot of success recently and plan to continue!
The Dream Team are currently second in the league and are looking to reach the top this year.

Archie Brown started karate at Firstdojo Martial Arts a month before his 6th birthday in May 2012. He was quickly recognised as having a natural talent by his Sensei Jamie Edmonds and began to progress through the belt system at an incredible speed with his dedication of training 5 hours per week.Just over 12 months after starting goju ryu karate, he began competing starting with the Northern TKF in Bradford where he got a bronze for his kata, a gold for team kata and a gold in kumite. He then took on the Northern Open Championships in Manchester competing against other styles of karate and achieved a silver medal in kata amongst 6-9 year olds.
The North West Air Ambulance is a charity which has been flying life-saving missions throughout the North West region since 1999. With two helicopters flying seven days a week, 365 days a year from our bases at Royal Preston Hospital and University Hospital of South Manchester, Wythenshawe, we cover 5,500 square miles and a population of around eight million people. On average the North West Air Ambulance is called out five times a day, rising up to ten in the summer. It costs in excess of £4.2 million per year to maintain both aircraft, but with almost no central government or lottery funding, we rely on the generosity of our supporters.
