Here at trentbarton and Kinchbus we’ve been working hard to raise money for our charity of the year for 2016, When you wish upon a Star.

One of When you wish upon a Star’s main activities is sending poorly children to Lapland for a magical holiday with Santa, with each seat costing £900. Each of our depots will have a target of two seats, or £1,800, to raise throughout the year.

We'll be selling some fantastic trentbarton and When you wish upon a Star merchandise, including badges of our iconic bod characters and vintage style trentbarton coasters. Check out our travel shops, located in Broadmarsh Nottingham, Derby bus station and Sutton bus station.

You can also name one of trentbarton's buses! namesake is a charity appeal started by a dear friend of the company, Heather Ward, back in 1991. Since it started over £100,000 has been raised for Derby's breast cancer unit, and now Heather has taken a back seat trentbarton is proudly continuing namesake in support of our charity of the year.

Our team are also organising loads of fun events and activities to help us reach our goal. We've already got plans for cake sales, It's a Knockout challenges, a Dragon Boat Challenger and much more!
