MOREBUS has once again opened its community fund for applications.  

The Poole-based bus operator’s initiative is designed to support charities, schools, sports teams and events organisers – among other worthy causes. 

It provides funding, marketing help, free travel or the use of Morebus vehicles for events. 

Richard Wade, Morebus general manager, said: “We’re very proud of the role we play within the local community - providing a comprehensive network of bus services across the region. 

“But that’s not where we want our role to end because we also endeavour to support and raise awareness for those doing excellent work on behalf of this living here.  

“Our community fund is open to everyone - from charities to sports teams - and we encourage anyone who needs a helping hand, however big or small, to apply.” 

The fund is open to applicants all year round, with Morebus funding and support donated during March and September.  

To apply for the operator’s March allocation, groups should visit Morebus’ website and provide details about their cause, what they need, and the difference this support might make to their organisation.
