Sussex-based Southern Transit is offering schools and extra-curricular groups the opportunity to win free transport for educational trips on its two new ADL Enviro400 City 72-seater double-deckers.
It is inviting parents, teachers and residents, to nominate schools and groups, who could benefit from free travel as part of its ‘Splendid Trips’ campaign.
Four free day trips, to their choice of destination, will be given away in 2018 in May, July, October and December.
That’s not all though… In addition to the free travel, Southern Transit will also organise a unique surprise guest on the bus, themed to the respective trip of each winning organisation. So, if the youngsters are on their way to the Natural History Museum, they could be treated to a special talk from a palaeontologist on their way there. Or, if they are going to see a show in the West End, they could find themselves being serenaded by a musical theatre artist on their way home.
Says owner Neil Bird: “It is heart-breaking to think of the budget cuts our county’s schools are facing, and the effect it can potentially have on our children’s education.
“I hope that people can see the benefits of our new ‘Splendid Trips’ campaign and I look forward to receiving nominations.”
Nominations for the first ‘Trip & Treat’ should be emailed to southerntransit@pmwcom.co.uk or posted to Southern Transit’s Splendid Trips, c/o PMW Communications, Stane Court, Stane Street, Billingshurst, West Sussex. RH14 9HP.
Every nomination should include the school or organisation’s name, contact details, planned trip destination and potential dates, along with the nominees contact details.
The closing date for the first round of nominations is midnight on Sunday 22nd April 2018.
