Bus firm in Alzheimer’s fundraising drive

Staff at bus firm trentbarton have chosen Alzheimer’s Research UK as their charity of the year for both 2022 and 2023.

Alzheimer’s Research UK is the UK’s leading dementia research charity, dedicated to causes, diagnosis, prevention, treatment and cure.

trentbarton staff will now spend the next two years organising a wide variety of fundraising events and initiatives, including its Namesake programme where people can donate to have a bus named after a loved one.

Alzheimer’s Research UK topped the poll of trentbarton staff who chose from a shortlist of good causes drawn from nominations by colleagues and customers.

Caroline Bacon-Webster, one of trentbarton’s staff charity champions who organises fundraising, said: “We are all looking forward very much to fundraising for such an important charity.

“Most of us know people affected by dementia, and in particular Alzheimer’s, so I am sure our colleagues and customers will be both enthusiastic and generous in their support, so we can raise as much as possible for the charity’s vital work.”
