Thank you to everyone who has attended Broseley Befrienders and helped to raise ยฃ1,000 for Friendly Bus! We're so pleased to see so many people benefiting from the coffee mornings and/or having a befriender. Well done to all the volunteers.

Ian is pictured receiving the cheque donation from Julia. Thank you everyone!

Thank you for being patient with us last week - we had over 100 enquiries on Monday alone along with the snow disruption to sort out!

Please be patient with us today and tomorrow - we're likely to be very busy! If you can't get through to us, we're probably on another call. Please leave us a voicemail and wait for us to call you back.

We can't wait to speak to you but leaving multiple voicemails makes it harder for us to catch up.

Are you starting to contemplate what your new year's resolution might be? Here's an idea.... ;-)

You could drive our minibus on trips, your own car to medical appointments or support our passengers and drivers as a Passenger Assistant on our minibuses! We'll complete your DBS, provide training and a supportive team.

Email us at info@friendlybus.co.uk to arrange a chat, or call us on 01952 88145 between 9:30am and 1pm, Monday to Friday. Our phone lines are open from 9:30am on Mon 5 Jan but you can leave us a voicemail and we'll call you back the week we return.

We'd love to hear from you!

Ian went to the Broseley Befrienders coffee morning yesterday and was presented with a cheque for ยฃ1,000 raised for The Friendly Bus! Thank you everyone who donated, you're amazing!

This money will help pay for a recent MOT completed on our wheelchair accessible minibus - making sure our vehicle is safe and we can continue taking everyone to the coffee morning and to other groups or trips.
