Southern Vectis is offering its support to local charities, schools, sports teams and events organisers, as part of a good causes initiative.
The Island 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.
Tyldsley: Anyone who needs a helping hand, however big or small, should apply
Southern Vectis general manager, Richard Tyldsley, said,
“At Southern Vectis, we’re proud to play an integral role within the local community.
“As well as providing award-winning bus services across the Isle of Wight, we endeavour to support and raise awareness for those doing excellent work on behalf of those living here.
“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 in November. To apply, 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 Isle of Wight Explorer Scouts and Wessex Cancer Trust’s Isle of Wight cancer wellbeing centre in Newport.
Building new relationships with worthy causes
Richard added,
“Our Community Fund offers a fair support process and allows us to build new relationships with worthy causes across the Island.”
