The Grove

Removable minibus seat. We need our bus to be as flexible as we are.

This item has completed. Thank You to all that helped us achieve our target of £823.50

What we needed: We would like to purchase a removable seat for our project's minibus.

We provide short breaks for disabled young people from our local community – exciting and stimulating time away from home when they can experience new things and make new friends. We can accommodate up to six children at a time at The Grove, but our minibus only has seats for five able-bodied passengers because of its wheelchair access space.

The difference it'll make: It sounds so simple, but this seat will make a huge difference to our young people, as it will mean they can go to local activities together, as a group, and without being limited to places we can reach by bus.

Being free to join in local clubs, sports and other community events is a really exciting part of their time away with us, and our minibus is essential to giving them that freedom.

We’re raising funds to cover the cost of the seat only – we already have seatbelts and clamps

Target: £823.50 

“Being with friends is a really important part of having a break from home for any young person.”

Marie Johnson, Centre manager
