Help Focus raise £15,000 to keep these life-changing journeys moving

/media/news/library/christmas-campaign.jpgOne Journey. Twice the Impact.

This Christmas, BRIB is proud to support our associated charity Focus Birmingham as they raise funds to keep vital accessible transport running.

For many of the people they support, public transport isn’t an option. Without it, missed journeys mean missed therapy, care, and connection. One cancelled trip can mean a week of isolation.

Focus Birmingham aims to raise £15,000 to keep these life-changing journeys moving through December and beyond.

If you can, please share their campaign or consider supporting directly:

You can also sponsor a bus – contact tracy@focusbirmingham.org.uk to find out more.
