Southern Auto Group’s support goes beyond a mere financial contribution—it stands as a testament to the group’s commitment to fostering inclusivity, independence, and a sense of belonging for individuals facing intellectual and developmental challenges.
Through its involvement in the Stockley Gardens Arts Festival, Southern Auto Group actively participates in creating a platform where individuals with disabilities can showcase their talents and find a supportive community that embraces diversity. This collaborative effort contributes not only to the festival’s success but also to the overarching mission of the Hope House Foundation.
