Fundraising at hoppa
Generating income through fundraising helps us to continue to provide a service that is affordable and
to have a fleet of buses that are reliable and comfortable.
There are many ways to show your personal support for hoppa; here are a couple of ways you may wish to help.
Just Giving
We are raising money to buy two new buses on the online giving platform Just Giving.
In our first campaign we would like to raise enough money to buy an electric vehicle so we can pilot running this type of vehicle with confidence before transitioning to an all-electric fleet of buses.
In our second campaign, we are aiming to raise enough money to replace one old bus with a new one that has been modified to include fold-out steps and a ramp or lift so it is accessible for wheelchair and pushchair users.
Co-op Local Community Fund
Hoppa has been chosen by the Co-op to be part of the Local Community Fund. This means that when members buy selected Co-op branded products and services, 2p for every pound spent will be donated to good causes as chosen by Co-op members.
If you are a Co-op member, please could you help us to reach our target to buy a year’s supply of PPE by choosing us as your favourite local cause. This will help us to keep our passengers safe when travelling and enable them to continue to enjoy their independence and freedom.
You can nominate hoppa and see how much has been raised so far at https://membership.coop.co.uk/causes/44568. If you do not have access to the internet, you can still choose hoppa as your preferred charity by calling 0800 0686 727.
