Friendly Bus

19/12/2025

Ian went to the Broseley Befrienders coffee morning yesterday and was presented with a cheque for £1,000 raised for The Friendly Bus! Thank you everyone who donated, you're amazing!

This money will help pay for a recent MOT completed on our wheelchair accessible minibus - making sure our vehicle is safe and we can continue taking everyone to the coffee morning and to other groups or trips.

Ian is pictured holding the massive cheque with Julia!
