Stagecoach encouraging charities to apply for grants

As part of the company’s wider sustainability work, the scheme aims to support organisations making a difference in health and wellbeing, young people, skills and employment, loneliness and social isolation, and accessibility and opportunity.

The programme is managed by Stagecoach’s charity committee, Stagecoach – Giving for Good.

Marc Reddy, managing director of Stagecoach South, said: "If you’re a local organisation making a difference in our communities, especially in supporting children, young people, or health and wellbeing, we would love to hear from you.

"Our grants of up to £500 may be small, but we know they can have a big impact for many groups.

"We’re always keen to connect with those who could benefit, so we strongly encourage you to apply."

While Stagecoach South does work with some national charities, the focus of the scheme is on helping smaller, local organisations.

The programme offers one-off grants of up to £500 to support their work.

Applications are reviewed on the first Wednesday of each month, with a deadline of the last Friday of the previous month for consideration.
