Andover SoapBox Derby

09/06/2026

I am totally honoured to announce that our group of nearly 70 volunteers have been given the recognition they deserve for all the support they give to local events that generally support local causes.
Andover SoapBox Derby, organised by Andover Community Events, was specifically mentioned but so many others have been supported too.
Andover Carnival, Trick or Treat, Andover Pride, Santa Runs, Andovers Santa and Light Switch On to name a few!!

Volunteers are the heartbeat of every successful event, giving their time, energy and passion to create memorable experiences that simply couldn’t happen without them. Thank you Unity Online for the recognition.

MAY THE COURSE BE WITH YOU

In an unapologetic way of getting your attention, we are trying an intergalactic twist as we believed the event to be out of this world 😜

Every great mission needs fuel, and our chosen charity, Raising Twenty1 ,is the heart that powers this adventure. While the SoapBoxes may have delivered the thrills, your donation helps create real change here on our home planet. By contributing, you’re joining a crew of everyday heroes determined to make a difference in the lives of others. Whether your contribution is large or small, every credit added to the mission brings hope, support and opportunity to those who need it most. Together, we can prove that the greatest force in the galaxy isn’t speed, technology or luck, it’s kindness.

THERES NO PLACE LIKE FOAM

We tried it last year with mixed results but the wind was on our side this year and as a result the Foam Machine added another element of surprise for our teams!! As well as a nice big puddle to hit and then being shot by 8 water pistols, and sometimes just bottles of water, it’s fair to say the finish of the course was Better and Wetter!!

Still chance to show any appreciation for the FREE day, if you can, and are able, please consider donating to our charity Raising Twenty1 through this link, THANK YOU ANDOVER:

Koala was our incredible charity last year and do some amazing work with our Neuro Divergent Community.
All they want are some toy cars, small gestures can make BIG differences so come on SoapBoxers, please get in touch with them if you can help at all

Hello everyone, we need more small toy cars for our young people to play with so I thought I’d ask you if you have any outgrown ones before buying new.
They can be dropped off at the hub when attending a session, or text Becky C on 07470 122 581
Thank you!
