Southern Vectis is offering its support to local charities, schools, sports teams and events organisers, as part of a good causes initiative.
The bus operator’s Community Fund – now open – is a dedicated resource for backing local causes with funding, marketing help, free travel or the use of its buses for events.
Southern Vectis general manager, Richard Tyldsley, said:
“At Southern Vectis we’re proud to play an integral role within the local community.
“As well as providing award-winning bus services across the island, we endeavour to support and raise awareness for those doing excellent work on behalf of those living here.
“The Southern Vectis Community Fund is open to everyone – from charities to sports teams – and we encourage anyone who needs a helping hand, however big or small, to apply.
“For 2026, we have increased the amount we are donating from £500 to £750 on three separate months – February, July and November – instead of the previous two months.”
To apply, groups should visit Southern Vectis’ website and provide details about their cause, what they need, and the difference this support might make to their organisation. Winners will be announced in August.
