Our charity partnership with Guts UK (Formerly known as the Digestive Disorders Foundation) from June 2025 to 2028
What are we doing?
The Karmann Ghia Owners Club (GB) is proud to announce that it will be partnering with the Guts UK charity for the next 3 years (2023 to 2028) to assist it in its fund-raising activities.
As a long-established classic car club we seek to be inclusive of all models of Karmann Ghia but, more importantly, all owners, however diverse their background or state of health.
From 2022 to 2025 the club raised £4,910 in aid of Alzheimer’s Society.
From 2019 to 2022 the club raised £4,109 in aid of the ME Association
The club will be looking to generate donations by its presence at various classic car shows during the year and through encouraging donations through its on-line JustGiving page details of this are on the ‘How to give’ section below.
This is an exciting new area of activity for the Karmann Ghia Owners Club (GB) which we hope will offer our members the chance to come together and raise funds for an important charity whilst meeting fellow enthusiasts from across the UK.
Why we have chosen Guts UK?
Club members proposed and voted to support the Guts UK! from June 2023 to 2028. For every pound that club members raise through their fundraising events, the club will match the amount up to a maximum of £500 per annum.
One of our members was supported by this charity in the last year. Guts UK, formerly known as the Digestive Disorders Foundation, is a British medical research charity dedicated to the research of digestive disorders.
“We’re getting to grips with guts!”
25ft is a lot of gut to understand! The truth is, our guts have been underfunded, understaffed and undervalued for decades. People are suffering, people are dying. All because of a lack of knowledge about our guts.With new knowledge, we will end the pain and suffering for the millions affected by digestive diseases. Guts UK’s research leads to earlier diagnoses, kinder treatments and ultimately, a cure.
Guts UK is the national charity for the digestive system. Our guts have been misunderstood, undervalued and underfunded for too long. We exist to change that.
