Help keep our members smiling!

Campaign by The Friendly Bus

Do you like making someone smile? Your donation can do just that! YOUR donation will mean a member enjoys a chats and laughs on the way to get their own shopping (and stays independent), enjoys an outing or makes friends at a local group!

Story

“It’s my lifeline to the world. I’ve made so many friends since joining Friendly Bus, I really look forward to our trips out.” Friendly Bus member

Help us keep our vehicles on the road. When we can't be there it isn’t just an inconvenience….

- It’s “making do” with what’s left in the cupboard.

- It’s back to loneliness. Helplessness. Boredom.

- It’s quiet. Depression. Sad.

But you can keep our members smiling. You can make the difference. And we need you NOW!

Having been operating since 2002, we’re honoured to have been awarded the Queen’s Award (the equivalent of an MBE for the voluntary sector). We pride ourselves on our reputation and providing an excellent service.

In 2023 we took over 6000 members shopping, to fitness classes or on social trips. The number of people needing our help and joining us has grown by 45% in the last year. It’s estimated, we generate over £8.5k in direct healthcare savings and over £627k in reduced indirect healthcare costs!
