At The Gloucestershire Steam and Vintage Extravaganza , we pride ourselves that we hold one of the biggest events of its kind in the country that is run entirely by volunteers .Our volunteers give freely of their time in order that we can support local and national charities , both directly and indirectly .
Directly from the donations we make to charities , and indirectly from the many charities represented at the show , sometimes selling goods or refreshments or just making people aware of their prescence in the community .
Among the charities represented and helped during the 2011 show were ;
The Cobalt Unit (Link)
Midland Air Ambulance (Link)
The Samaritans (Link)
The Cystic Fibrosis Trust (Link)
RSPCA (Link)
Hearing Dogs (Link)
