At Crusader Vehicles, we’re proud to do more than just sell vehicles. We’re committed to making a difference in our community, and over the last few months, we’ve been out there doing just that – supporting local children’s football tournaments, fundraising for charity, and being recognised for the values we hold.
Supporting Local Youth Football
We were delighted to sponsor not one, but two amazing grassroots football events this summer: the Sussex Sixes Tournament and the Heathfield & Horam Youth Football Tournament.
Both events brought hundreds of local families together, and we were there all weekend with our custom Ford Transit Custom Vortex van and two exciting challenges: “Goal in the Hole” and “Guess How Many Balls in the Van”.
These games were a hit with kids and parents alike, but more importantly, all proceeds from the games went directly to our Charity of the Year, which we’re proud to be supporting throughout 2025 – a charity that supports children with disabilities and their families across the South East.
We had fantastic participation and loved seeing so many smiling faces. Congratulations again to our winners!
Our Partnership with Children’s Respite Trust
Our connection to the Children’s Respite Trust goes beyond these events. In 2024, we began an official charity partnership with CRT, pledging to donate for every vehicle we sell.
Since then, we’ve made monthly donations, helping the charity deliver vital respite care and support for families who need it most. It’s a partnership we’re incredibly proud of, and one that adds real meaning to the work we do every day.
When you buy from Crusader, you’re not just getting a vehicle – you’re helping make a difference to a family.
Industry Recognition: BNP Paribas Award
Our team works hard to deliver efficient, honest, and reliable service to our customers – and we were thrilled to be recognised with the Efficiency Champion Award by BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions. We are also grateful for a partnership that’s spanned over 15 years.
A huge thank you to Tim Blain for the Award, and a massive shoutout to our own Adam Smith for leading the way. This award acknowledges our commitment to fast turnarounds, streamlined processes, and a no-nonsense customer experience. It’s great to have that effort officially recognised, and even better to know that our customers are feeling the difference.
Thank You for Being Part of It
We want to say a huge thank you to our customers, suppliers, and community. Everything we’ve achieved over the past few months has been possible because of your support.
