Husqvarna is currently auctioning its first ever Pink Automower in support of breast cancer charity, Breast Cancer Care.



The campaign is running as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Week, with bids being taken until next Thursday, October 12th.

Once the auction closes and the total sum is determined, Husqvarna will then double the figure up to £2,000 and donate this to Breast Cancer Care.

The Pink Automower is the only one of its kind in the UK and to accompany the start of the auction, staff in Newton Aycliffe took part in an internal fundraising day, dressing up in pink and raising money.

Ken Brewster, UK Sales and Marketing Director for Husqvarna said: “We’re proud of our robotic mowers and hope that the Pink Automower generates interest from bidders looking to transform their garden whilst raising money for a great cause. We want to generate awareness and raise as much money as possible for such a brilliant charity. I have no doubt the Husqvarna staff will help us to do this.”

Alec Raven, Head of Community Fundraising at Breast Cancer Care, added: “We’re so grateful to Husqvarna for supporting Breast Cancer Care once again. The money raised will help Breast Cancer Care to continue to provide free services including; support over the phone with a nurse or someone who’s been there, welcoming online forums, reliable information and local group support.

“691,000 people are living with a breast cancer diagnosis in the UK today, and that figure is only set to grow. With support from businesses like Husqvarna we can be here for more people, whenever they need us.”

Breast Cancer Care is the only specialist UK-wide charity providing support to people with breast cancer.
