Special Needs Holiday Trust will take delivery of a brand new Fiat Doblo van to help out in their work in providing holiday centres for people with special needs. The Fiat Doblo is due to be shipped off to the holiday centre in Portugal’s Algarve coast to act as a run around and maintenance van for the complex, which is kitted out with a pool.
Managing director Andy Mahoney took delivery of the vehicle in February. Centre Algarve is Europe’s first holiday centre to cater exclusively for customers with special needs. A former holiday complex, the property is in need of total refurbishment – much of which is being carried out by volunteers. When complete, the Centre will have 14 bedrooms, a swimming pool, sensory garden and animal sanctuary.
“This means so much more than just a van to us,” says Andy Mahoney. “Having a high profile company such as Fiat supporting us raises our profile and should encourage others to help us too.
“The Doblò Cargo is a superb van and will be a great help with all the building work we have planned for Centre Algarve.”
“We are delighted to be able to support this fabulous charity, which is giving so much to people with special needs,” adds Simon Wheeler, fleet and remarketing director, Fiat Group Automobiles UK. “There is much to be done at Centre Algarve for which a good van will be essential, so I’m pleased for the Centre that the vehicle will be a Doblò Cargo.”
The Fiat Doblò Cargo range starts at £11,395 (basic price) for the 1.4 16v Petrol, rising to £16,295 (basic price) for the Maxi SX 2.0 MultiJet 16v Diesel.
