Xcite Car Leasing's Charity Activities

At Xcite Car Leasing we believe in giving back to our community!

People are at the core of our business values, both as our customers and our staff. Which is why we think it's important for us to support others in our wider community.

All of our staff have can take 2 paid days each year for charity work, whether that's with the charity we're supporting or their own independent charity activities. So far we've seen charity days being used for:

Organising charity events
Taking part in sponsored walks
Taking part in sponsored races

And we expect to see more activities as the year goes on.

Our charity of the year

We are supporting Julia's House in 2025 and all of our internal efforts go towards raising money for this great cause.

Julia's House is a children's hospice charity in Dorset and Wiltshire that supports children with life limiting conditions and their families.

Xcite charity events

Our first charity event of 2025 was an office based event, which included a bake sale, raffle and F1 lottery.

As you can see from the picture above we had plenty of bakers contribute to the event.

Also pictured above are Spencer and Tim enjoying a sample of each baker's delicious treats.

All cakes were entered into our Great Wessex Bake Off, and judged by the two lucky directors.

The winner was Jess with her gluten free Victoria Sandwich. Pictured right collecting her prize voucher from Spencer.

As well as the bake sale we ran a raffle, with a number of Xcellent prizes that were donated by local businesses and staff members.

This event raised over £400 for Julia's House.

Salisbury to Stonehenge

Our second charity event was a walk from our Salisbury office to Stonehenge.

Over 20 member of staff, family and a representative from Julia's House completed the walk on a hot Sunday afternoon in May. They raised close to £3,000 (over if you include gift aid the Charity is able to claim on donations) for walking the distance of a half marathon.

Upcoming fundraising

We're continuing to raise money for Julia's House over the year with several events planned for the coming months.

We're closing in on our goal of raising £4,000 for Julia's House over the year.

As you can see on the left we're around 3/4 of our way there and we're hoping with more events to go we'll reach and Xceed the target before Christmas.
