Getting it together

As part of Bondholder trentbarton's new together community fund, up to £1,000 of its time and resources is being offered to local good causes.

The new trentbarton together community fund is welcoming applications from sports teams, schools, charities and other local groups. The bus company will support at least one good cause every month, with the successful applicants chosen by a panel of trentbarton staff.

It could be a local team which needs some new kit, or a school which needs help with a free ride to an event. Community events that need a helping hand can also apply.

Jeff Counsell, Managing Director at trentbarton, said: “trentbarton together is a new fund we’re keen to put to good use across Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, so we’re calling out to teams, groups and schools to get in touch and let us know what help they need.

“We won’t be able to help everyone, but will pick out the most deserving. It won’t always be about money. If our team is needed or the loan of a bus would make a big difference then we we’d love to help out.”

In recent months trentbarton has helped students with volunteering overseas, bussed a primary school choir to a Christmas concert at a care home, taken teenagers to their prom dance and ferried 200 sea cadets to a parade.

Jeff added: “Our wonderful staff are always keen to get involved in their local communities and as a company trentbarton has always welcomed requests for our assistance.”
