Sometimes, it pays to be a PRAT
FIAG founding member Geoffrey Bray is keen to point out that the Fleet Industry Advisory Group is a "genuine not-for-profit," and any surplus will be going to the Hope For Tomorrow charity that brings cancer treatment to rural areas.
In 2007 Hope for Tomorrow launched the world's first mobile chemotherapy unit in conjunction with the NHS, and now operates four units across Gloucestershire, Somerset, Wiltshire, Hampshire, Dorset and Kent. At the end of last year it had administered 6000 treatments saving an estimated 240,000 miles of travel for cancer sufferers. Patrons include Sir Stirling Moss, Martin Brundle, Ross Brawn and Gloria Hunniford.
FIAG has created what it calls The Grand Order of PRAT - The Pennington Ridiculous Award Trophy - as a fund-raising initiative. Named after cartoonist Jack Pennington, who drew calendars featuring FSG's staff and clients before succumbing to cancer in 2006, the trophy goes to whoever raises the most funds for Hope For Tomorrow. FIAG intends to hold a fund-raising event early next year.
