Sutton Mencap Minibus appeal launched

Sutton Mencap is launching a brand new appeal to raise £15,000 towards a replacement minibus.

We need your help to raise £15,000 towards the cost of a replacement minibus. Accessible Transport plays a huge part in the delivery of our services. We want our service users to get out and about, participate in community life and to have access to all the arts, sports and leisure facilities available to us.

Wherever we can we make use of public transport. However, for many of our service users, this is not an option. Having our own minibus is therefore a huge part of our service. Our current vehicle has served us well, but is now due for replacement.

That’s why we have launched the Sutton Mencap minibus appeal. Over the next 12 months we have a target of raising £15,000 towards the cost of a replacement vehicle.

We need your help to do this. Maybe you could carry out a sponsored activity and get your family, friends or colleagues involved. If you need any help in getting your fundraising idea off the ground, contact emma@suttonmencap.org.uk.

One of our fundraisers Beccy Stafford has really taken the project to heart. Beccy has a whole range of fundraising activities in mind over the next 12 months. She is already off to a flying start, having raised nearly £1,000 in just a few weeks. If you’d like to support her, or be inspired by her to start up your own fundraising plans, you can find out more at https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/suttonmencapminibus.
