Hesslewood Charitable Causes Fund was founded by Brooklands Property Holdings on the principle of serving local, grassroots charities and volunteer-led organisations.
Through annual fundraising events, and with the generous support of local businesses and individuals, we are proud to support fantastic projects that have a tangible benefit on our local community.
Our commitment extends beyond fundraising and donations; it’s about fostering connections, building community, and leaving a lasting impact right here in our local neighbourhoods.
Our flagship fundraising event is Classic Cars at Hesslewood – an annual charity car show held at Hesslewood Office Park, in the backdrop of Hesslewood Hall in Hessle, East Yorkshire, bringing together classic car enthusiasts from across Hull, Hessle and the surrounding area to raise money for charity.
It was a nervous start this year – wet, grey skies rolling in just as exhibitors were arriving – but the rain eased, the gates opened, and the public turned out in the greatest numbers we’ve seen yet. Between our highest-ever number of pre-booked vehicles and those who joined on the day, around 200 cars, bikes, campers and more filled the site.
This 100% not-for-profit event was held in support of two vital local organisations: Humber Rescue and Humber Wellbeing Hub. While their work differs in nature, together they represent a powerful, connected approach to community care – from immediate life-saving intervention to longer-term wellbeing and recovery.
Hesslewood Charitable Causes Fund was delighted to host the event at Hesslewood Office Park in August. It was a day for everyone – from classic vehicle enthusiasts to families looking for a fun day out – and we are overwhelmed by the brilliant feedback from vendors, exhibitors, and the entire community.
We are especially proud to announce that the 2025 event attracted record footfall and vehicle numbers, and, most importantly, raised an incredible £11,526.62 for 2025’s supported charity, Humber Rescue.
