Giving back to the community has always been a key focus at the Mitchell Group, and this year, the Chester-based dealership group is projected to donate £350,000 to support charity partnerships, community projects and non-profit organisations – representing a significant financial commitment to the North West.
From supporting Wirral Community First Responders, Cheshire Young Carers, North West Cancer Research and local food banks, the Mitchell Group supports a wide variety of projects, both at a community level and national scale. Each year, the dealership group donates a proportion of its profits to charities and projects. Across 2025 the Mitchell Group donated nearly £300,000 to charitable causes, and with a successful 12 months of trading, the family-run dealer anticipates to donate a further £350,000 this year to continue its commitment to servicing those in the local community.
Established as a Mazda franchise since 2004, the dealership based in Cheshire Oaks has 27 team members employed under umbrella who then nominate charities to receive the vital support and make a difference. Most recently, the Mitchell Mazda team has been supporting Pawz In Need, a small local charity that provides help to families in crisis by donating food for their furry family members.
In addition, the annual ‘Sing Your Heart Out’ Christmas carol celebration at Chester Cathedral attracts approximately 1,000 customers, staff and friends for an evening of festive celebration and fundraising. The most recent event saw the dealership raise more than £47,000 to support Thriving Families Chester, a charity which provides support for parents and families in need.
Further afield, Mitchell Mazda supports a scheme where – via the charity World Vision – colleagues can sponsor a child through payroll, enabling children and young people in the developing world to experience the very best in healthcare and education.
Commenting on the Group’s charitable projects, Mark Mitchell DL, Managing Director of Mitchell Group, said: “Again, we are grateful for the very special partnership we have with Mazda UK. We have enjoyed another year of growth and success and find ourselves in a position to support an even greater number of local projects and charitable endeavours. It continues to be a great privilege to stand alongside local people, and especially those who enthuse and inspire us.”
