In aid of the NSPCC, Jaguar is giving away the first Jaguar XJ in a prize draw competition. Esther Rantzen recently visited the Jaguar dealership in in Luton to back the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The Jaguar Prize Competition aims to raise £1m for the NSPCC’s helplines, including ChildLine. This all-new luxury saloon, worth more than £62,000, is Jaguar’s flagship model and will launch in showrooms in the New Year.
Each entry costs £125 and there is no limit to the number of entries per person. Find out more and enter at www.jaguar.co.uk/nspcc. The competition runs until 25 November and the winner will be announced on 1 December.
Esther Rantzen said: “Our new online ChildLine service gives children even more choice in how they seek our help. Children can now text and chat to a ChildLine counsellor at www.childline.org.uk as well as phone on 0800 1111. However, there is much still to be done before we can be there for all children. The Jaguar Prize Competition takes us one step further to raising the funds we need to do this.”
