Andover SoapBox Derby

23/06/2026

So the final post for SoapBox 2026 is to celebrate the total of £8,000 purely made possible by the humbling support of these local companies. Their unwavering community spirit at a time of financial difficulty for some meant we could offer this event FREE to everyone whilst raising funds for Raising Twenty1
We thank them for their support and generosity.
