Southern Vectis' Community Fund is back to support Island charities, schools, sports teams and events organisers.
The Island's bus operator’s Community Fund - a dedicated resource for backing local causes with funding or marketing help - was paused at the beginning of the pandemic.
The Community Fund is open to applicants twice a year, during May and November where Southern Vectis will fund or support good causes up to the value of £500.
To apply for the operator’s May 2021 allocation, groups should provide details about their cause, what they need, and the difference this support might make to their organisation.
Nikki Honer, Head of Communications for the firm said:
“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.
“Sadly, we had to put the Community Fund on hold last year, whilst we ploughed all our efforts into supporting our team and providing vital transport links for key workers. Now, hopefully with sunnier times ahead, we are ready to start it up again.”
“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.”
Nikki concluded:
“We hope the new Community Fund will continue to offer a fair support process and allow us to build new relationships with worthy causes across the Isle of Wight. Anyone interested in applying should contact us before the end of May.”
