A fantastic year with our 2025 charity partner!

It’s always a sad moment when we say goodbye to our charity partner and this year was no different. 

Throughout 2025, we worked with Berkshire Youth, raising awareness to their cause through activity such as sponsored walks, wearing blue for the day and of course, our highly successful open day. 

a huge total raised

We had a fantastic 2025 partnering with Berkshire Youth, and we were delighted to present them with a cheque for an impressive £16,000 - our second highest ever total raised. 

It’s also important to take a moment to highlight and reflect on some of the ways our employees have helped raise money for the charity. 

This includes some of our larger events - such as our training academy walking the length of aqua 28 from Reading to Henley in September, and our annual Open Day in June.

Our 2025 Open Day saw us once again open the doors to our depot for a day filled with depot tours, bus wash ride, games and food. Despite the 30-degree heat, we were once again able to raise a record-breaking amount for the day. 

Lots of money was also raised by our staff internally, with events including charity raffles, supporting Wear Blue for Berkshire Youth and Christmas jumper days too. 

For much of 2025, our charity bus could be found around our network, helping promote an easy way to donate to the charity via text message.

We’d like to thank Berkshire Youth for being our partner for the past year.

who’s next?

Whilst we bid a farewell to our partner for 2025, we’re excited to be introducing our new charity partner for 2026 shortly, and we look forward to helping raise funds for them. Keep an eye out for the big reveal soon!
