Hello,

The Friendly Bus is a amazing local charity that makes a huge difference to the lives of elderly people within the community.

With our busy lives I don't think we ever stop to think about about what real loneliness must feel like, and hopefully we will never find out.

But many elderly people do become isolated from their communities. The Friendly Bus helps to overcome that and brings people together for shared experiences which has huge benefits for them and their wider community.

I know everything is expensive these days and there's not a lot or spare cash around but any money you can spare, no matter how little, will have a huge impact and help put a smile on someone's face.

Thank You

“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

In 2023 we let our members down, when our vehicles broke down and were off the road. This isn’t just an inconvenience….

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

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

- It’s quiet. Depression. Sad.

But you can keep their members smiling. You can make the difference. Let's raise some money to help them buy a new minibus or two!
