A record-breaking year with our 2024 charity partner!
2 weeks ago
It is always sad to say farewell to our charity partners and even more so following a two-year partnership.
Throughout 2023 and 2024 we have worked closely with the Royal Berks Charity to help raise money and awareness for their cause.
And following on from a hugely successful first year, we are thrilled to announce that our second year with them has proven even more successful, becoming a record-breaking year!
a record total raised
Throughout 2024, our employees have worked hard to help raise funds and awareness for the charities cause.
Fundraising efforts have included internal events such as bake sales and foreign currency collections as well as larger public events, such as our finance team’s walk of the purple 17 route in September.
There was also our 2024 Open Day, which took place at the end of June and saw us open the doors to our depot to be met with the largest crowd we have ever seen at an open day.
Last January, 2024, we also unveiled a charity-branded bus to promote our partnership. This helped raise awareness across our network; as well as helping to promote an easy way to donate.
On Monday 13 January we held a ceremony at our depot to celebrate our partnership with the charity and were excited to present Royal Berks Charity with a cheque for £20,361.68.
This amount is a record-breaking sum and is over double what we raised for the charity in 2023. Combined, the total for both 2023 and 2024 brings the amount raised for Royal Berks Charity to a colossal £32,101.63.

our next partner
Whilst we are saying goodbye to our charity partner for the past two years, we are excited to start the new year with a brand-new charity partner – and eager to start fundraising for them (including our 2025 Open Day, stay tuned for details)
We’ll be announcing who our charity partner for 2025 is very shortly, so keep an eye out!
