Community groups, charities and parish councils across areas hosting the 2026 Hills Ford Stages Rally are being encouraged to get in touch with organisers to explore opportunities for support, fundraising and charitable donations.
Now the initial consultation and introductory period with residents and businesses has been completed, organisers would like to remind local communities that the engagement and support opportunities remain an important part of the event’s ongoing commitment to the region.
One of the key ways the rally supports local communities is through spectator area fundraising. Safe spectator locations are delivered in line with Motorsport UK requirements, with local groups given the opportunity to operate spectator car parks. Parking income generated at these sites is returned directly to local community groups, helping fund local projects and initiatives.
As in previous years, we would like to invite Parish councils, charities, sports clubs and community organisations to come forward to discuss how they may benefit from support linked to the 2026 event.
Event Media Officer Steve said:
“Now that the consultation period is finished, we are able to let the community know, that these opportunities exist and that we’re here to have those conversations. The rally brings real benefits to the region, and we want to make sure those are shared as widely as possible.”
Clerk of the Course Dan added:
“As a not-for-profit event, giving back to the communities that support us is really important. We would encourage any parish or community group with a project or initiative to get in touch and speak to us about what might be possible.”
Further details will be shared through parish councils and the rally’s official communication channels.
