🏁 Wishing the True Heroes Racing Team an amazing final weekend of the season! 🏁

We’re so proud to sponsor True Heroes Racing - a team that does so much more than just race. The team gives Wounded, Injured, and Sick Armed Forces personnel and veterans the chance to be part of something truly special. Their passion, determination, and teamwork are inspiring to everyone who meets them.

Over the summer, our residents have loved going along to the races, cheering the team on, and soaking up the excitement. It’s always such a fun day out, and seeing the smiles on everyone’s faces reminds us why we love being part of this journey.

Here’s to a fantastic final weekend and an incredible season for the team – we can’t wait to see what they achieve next! 🏍️💛
