M6toll operator supports care association project

Midland Expressway Limited (MEL), operators of the M6toll, have announced Holbrooks Community Care Association as a recipient of their ‘In the Community’ funding.

The M6toll will provide £1,250 to help deliver a community-based programme offering practical, emotional and social support.

The project will focus on reducing isolation, increasing confidence, and ensuring older residents can access meaningful activities and appropriate guidance.

Holbrooks Community Care Association, based in Coventry, aims to provide targeted support for vulnerable individuals within this age group, improving their wellbeing, independence, and overall quality of life.

Mark Graham, community development officer at Holbrooks Community Care Association, said: “We are incredibly grateful to M6toll for their generous support.

“Their contribution will make a real difference by helping us provide welcoming, inclusive spaces where older residents can connect, build friendships and stay active.

“For many, these groups are a vital lifeline - reducing isolation, improving wellbeing and strengthening community spirit.

“We sincerely thank M6toll for recognising the importance of supporting our older generation and investing in the people at the heart of our community.”

Jo Brett, external communications assistant at M6toll, said: “Our commitment to the welfare of our local community goes beyond the toll booths.

“We are proud to support Holbrooks Community Care Association and their important community-based programme project, focused on supporting the Elderly in our community to reduce isolation ensuring older residents can access meaningful activities and appropriate guidance.”
