The Ayrshire Communities Trust’s green credentials were boosted recently when the Saltcoats-based organisation took delivery of its first electric vehicle.

The brand new, all electric Volkswagen Golf E was sourced and supplied by Ayrshire’s Vehicles4Work, and Director Patrick Kane was delighted to personally delivery and hand over the new car to the Trust’s team last month.
The plug-in car will help connect the Trust, also known as TACT, to the numerous community groups and projects it supports across North Ayrshire, enabling its experienced team to deliver various services whilst reducing their carbon footprint.
Operations Manager Kaileigh Brown and Employability Team Leader Cheryl Newall were on hand to take delivery of the Golf-E.
Kaileigh commented: “The Ayrshire Communities Trust provides support to community organisations throughout North Ayrshire and it is therefore essential that our team can travel the length and breadth of the area. Thanks to North Ayrshire Council’s Switched On Vehicles Grant, we are now able to do so sustainably, whilst helping demonstrate the viability of cleaner, greener electric cars to the wider community.”

Ayrshire-based Vehicles4Work sourced and supplied the car, working with the team at TACT to identify the type of electric car most suited to the Trusts’ needs. Patrick Kane, Sales Director at the independent car and van brokers, added: “We were delighted to help The Ayrshire Communities Trust identify and source their new car. The variety of electric and hybrid cars available is ever increasing, and so we carefully went through the options with the client. The Volkswagen Golf-E is the ideal fit, and we were very pleased to be able to source it directly from Volkswagen Financial Services | Fleet and hand it over personally to Kayleigh and the team at their Saltcoats head office.”
