Residents and friends of Stafford Court, Bridgetown, Totnes have raised a whopping £1,100 for Bob the Bus.
Hazel Rogers and her helpers pulled out all the stops for a coffee morning this month. They spread the net wide and gathered contributions and donations from many individuals and businesses in the town.
Accepting the proceeds, chair of Trustees Steve Grove said: “I’m so impressed by the huge effort that has gone into this event, and want to thank everyone who helped raise this very significant sum. I know there’s a lot of support for Bob the Bus throughout the community, and it’s so moving to hear how vital our buses are in enabling everyone to get out and about.
“Passenger numbers have gone up in the past year, but unfortunately so have our costs. Unlike commercial companies, we receive no subsidy from Devon County Council, so funding efforts like this are really valuable.”
