The East Coast Truckers’ Charity “Children’s Convoy”

26th CHILDREN’S CONVOY WILL ROLL ON THE 28th AUGUST 2011. 

The East Coast Truckers’ Charity “Children’s Convoy” will run on Sunday 28th August this year. The convoy is unique as we take children out for a day in trucks, so far as we know it is the only one in the world that has been going for 25 Years. However, this year it has been extremely hard to get cover from the authorities, we have now found a solution and it is thanks to all the support we have received we can run this year. We will as usual be putting safety first with our special person in the trucks. We will have a maximum speed limit of 30 MPH, which must be adhered to at all times.

This Convoy could well be the last.

The route will be the same as in previous years and it will unfortunately cause some disruption to other road users as we pass through with our cargo of special needs children. If you are inconvenienced in any way please be patient and if you can give the children on the convoy a big wave, they will just love your support.
