How Minibuses Can Aid Charities Reputation in a Community

06 November 2018

​As human beings, we love to aid others in any way possible. Charities are a fantastic way to spread good across communities around the world, connect with people from all backgrounds and learn crucial life skills. Charities are dependent on the support of volunteers, while also being driven to discover alternative methods and strategies to do their roles to the best of their ability.

Minibuses have become a popular leasing choice for charities, especially based in rural areas. These can be used to get people to hospitals, towns and shops, as well as supporting employments and education within the community. Now, you may be thinking, how is it possible for a charity to afford a gleaming new minibus when finances are stretched? A potential solution to this is fundraising within your local rural community. The average Brit gives away £10 a month to good causes, but many other members of society devote thousands of pounds a year of their hard-earned cash to make the world a better place. 

Members of the local public commonly have a specific cause they feel passionate towards, which may be generated as a result of personal experiences, faith and religion or a strong belief in the topic. Once the funds have been fundraised, leasing a minibus allows you to escape the wrath of administration and instead, focus on what you do best! This also mitigates risks for the individual as the financial, maintenance and residual problems are dealt with first hand. 

Charities are also a valuable tool for communities to come together. Utilising a minibus to make events accessible to members of the general public can increase the reputation of the organisation and encourage others to get involved. At Marshall Minibus, we’re keen to engage communities and charities across the country to get involved and connect the people around us in our society. We’re happy to advise on the most appropriate size, usage and compliance of the vehicle to make sure your charity can run efficiently.
