READING BUSES is appealing for help to find its charity of the year for 2023.
It is looking for a charity that is either local to Reading area or has strong links to it.
Next year will be the 15th year of the scheme, which is says is an important part of its work.
The charity usually gets a bus with a dedicated livery, plus proceeds from events such as the open day that takes place at its Great Knollys Street depot.
“It is a great way to give back to our local community,” HR Director Caroline Anscombe said today.
“Being Reading Buses Charity of the Year is much more than just fundraising – we can offer the chance to raise local awareness of a charity’s work through our network of services across Reading and the Thames Valley.
“We carry over 22 million people every year and the charity’s publicity will be featured on all our in-bus screens as well as on our website and social media channels.
“Our show stopper is one of our buses incorporating the charity’s own design on the sides and rear. This can be used on any – and all – our routes throughout the year and gets the charity’s message out to all parts of the communities on our network.”
An application form can be downloaded from the Reading Buses website. Applications and enquiries should be sent to coty@reading-buses.co.uk by Monday, October 31.
