BROMSGROVE car buyer We Want Any Car is living up to its name this Christmas after launching a toy car appeal in support of Barnardo’s.

The company is looking to people who are clearing out their old toys ahead of Christmas to donate unwanted toy cars, which will be delivered to local Barnardo’s retail branches.

Residents can stop off at the car buyer’s Bromsgrove site at the Basepoint Business Centre or the Lye Bridge Industrial Estate store in Alvechurch, to help raise money for Barnardo’s.

Dave Parry from We Want Any Car said: "At this time of year it is important that we remember those children that may be in less fortunate circumstances and how we can help them.

"Our name says we want any car so we thought we’d use this to help Barnardo’s.

"We’re appealing to local businesses and residents to support our campaign, but even if people can’t bear to part with their old Matchbox, Tonka or Hot Wheels, we will be working with toy retailers to ensure that we deliver on our promise to Barnardo’s.

"We will be donating at least one car for every car we buy in the run up to Christmas."
