Southern Vectis is offering its support to local charities, schools, sports teams and events organisers this November, as part of a good causes initiative.
The local bus operator’s Community Fund is a dedicated resource for backing local causes with funding, marketing help, free travel or the use of its buses for events.
“At Southern Vectis we’re proud to play an integral role within local communities across the Island,” said Southern Vectis general manager, Richard Tyldsley.
“As well as providing award-winning bus services here, we endeavour to support and raise awareness for those doing excellent work on behalf of those living on the Isle of Wight.
“The Southern Vectis Community Fund is open to everyone - from charities to sports teams - and we encourage anyone who needs a helping hand, however big or small, to apply.”
The Community Fund is open to applicants twice a year - in May and November.
To apply for the November 2024 allocation, groups should visit Southern Vectis’ website and provide details about their cause, what they need, and the difference this support might make to their organisation. Winners will be announced in December.
Previous beneficiaries include the St Helens Primary School Library Bus, Newport Carnival and Isle of Wight Explorer Scouts.
