Latest News
We launched our NEW
Ring & Ride service
on Friday 25th January 2019
in Bedford Square, Princesshay.
Ben Bradshaw MP cut the tape at 12:20.
In March this year we started a fund raising campaign to raise £65k.
This amount was to enable our charity to purchase an especially adapted bus. We could then untie our charity from an expensive annual contract with Devon County Council, allowing us more independence, which in turn would be of advantage to local disabled people. The bus will enable us to take more elderly and less abled people shopping and on trips to the seaside and other attractions, greatly enhancing the service we currently offer.
Not only did we reach the £65k target, but we raised a total of £73k.This great news has been fortunate as the cost of the bus has risen by £4k since our initial quote. The extra funds means that we have been able to order Air Conditioning at a cost of £3k, to keep our passengers comfortable in the hot weather.
We would like to say a massive THANK YOU to all of those that contributed to this campaign.
