The car wash was in aid of The Fire Fighters Charity and also the Merryweather restoration project, Bexhill's original 1895 horse-drawn Merryweather fire engine.

00:00 (car washing)
00:02 Yeah, so we're here today because we decided
00:13 to do a charity car wash.
00:16 It's for two of the charities.
00:17 So one of them is the Firefighters' Charity,
00:20 which supports families and firefighters
00:22 if they're any ever needs of support,
00:24 whether someone was injured or any sort of medical care
00:28 that they may need.
00:29 And then the second reason we're doing it
00:31 is for our 1895 Meriwether horse-driven fire engine.
00:36 It's the first one in Bexhill.
00:38 We finally got it back and we're looking to restore it
00:40 to its former glory.
00:42 There is a GoFundMe page.
00:44 If you Google Meriwether Bexhill GoFundMe,
00:47 it should come up so you can donate to the charity there.
00:52 Obviously this part, side of things,
00:55 is only for the Meriwether and the Firefighters' Charity,
00:58 whereas the GoFundMe's just primarily for the Meriwether.
