Weʼre raising £4,000 to help fund The Northern Dalesman "Country Bus" linking Middlesbrough, Darlington and Richmond with the Yorkshire Dales every Summer Sunday.

Northern Dalesman bus service 830 featured as "The Country Bus" on BBC4 last year, but funding is needed to keep this service running.

The bus provides a great way for people to get out into the countryside, and it's especially popular with the elderly and other people without cars.

Around half the money to run the service has already been raised, but we need another £4,000 to keep the wheels turning every Sunday and Bank Holiday throughout the summer.

You can find out more about the service at www.dalesbus.org/thecountrybus

We'd also like to hear from you if you could provide commercial sponsorship for the service - please get in touch via companysecretary@dalesandbowland.com
