We’re not stopping there, as more activities are planned across the industry to help us reach our ambitious target of £2 million by June 2025. We look forward to celebrating this milestone at a special event on the Terrace at the House of Commons next year, with the date to be confirmed.
As an industry, we’ve raised £1.9 million to date.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to you, the fantastic club teams, and your customers for the incredible and ongoing support.
In addition to funding buses, we’ve recently provided essential equipment to individuals across Great Britain, totalling £28,000. This equipment includes specially designed beds, mattresses, chairs, sensory room tools, and programs to support those with special educational needs and disabilities. We are also excited to announce that we are planning our next bus presentation.
One recent example is a young individual with ASD, sensory needs, and mobility challenges (tip-toe walking). Their condition significantly impacts on daily life at home and in school. They suffer from social anxiety, are extremely vulnerable and lacks a sense of danger. Non-verbal and struggling with social interaction, they will benefit from the sensory equipment that helps to calm and manage their anxiety.
This equipment, which cost over £3,000, has been life-changing for the whole family, allowing them to live a more comfortable and fulfilling life whilst helping with happiness and a platform from which to learn, grow, and develop.
