Brief History

So what started off as a year of fundraising for small charities and a few individuals, like Mia (pictured), who has Leukaemia, has now been extended for an unknown length of time.

Trucker Garfy, (Tony) dedicated 12 months of his time to help others, having previously been involved in a group doing similar good.

As we went through the year, new members came on board, bringing us to our current 7 full time team members, and a number of additional people who assist with specific events.

Meet the team

Honourary Garfys Angels, Mia & Ella

Mia (pictured right) suffers from Leukaemia and we helped raise money to support her parents expenses as they travelled from South Wales to Bristol for treatment.

As a result of both Mia and her sister Ella melting our hearts with their positive attitudes, we decided to make them honourary members of  Garfys Angels , the team of ladies who support our efforts to raise much needed funds for our selected causes.
