Yellow Buses has renewed its partnership with AFC Bournemouth’s Community Sports Trust for its fifth consecutive season.
It means the operator will sponsor the ‘Soccer Safety’ schools programme, delivered to children across the Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset area.
The lessons help educate children and young people on the dos and don’ts of travelling safely in the community, with workshops on different modes of transport including buses, cycles, car and by foot.
The operator is also supporting the Junior Cherries this season with monthly bus passes throughout the year to encourage young supporters to use the network.
“We’re really pleased to be continuing our partnership with Yellow Buses for a fifth season and keep delivering such important lessons in schools,” says AFC Bournemouth Partnerships Manager Amy Marks. “It’s an extremely important topic and we’re grateful to have the support of Yellow Buses in such challenging times.”
Marketing Sales Manager of Yellow Buses Fiona Hardwood adds: “Both Yellow Buses and AFC Bournemouth are very much part of the community, based here in Bournemouth, and it’s great to be able to extend our partnership and deliver these projects into schools.
“The children are our future customers and, via this programme, we are be able to provide them with the safety tips they need. They are able to learn in a fun environment both inside the classroom and out.
“Together with Yellow Buses and Project Ambassador Dan Gosling, we have been bringing fun and important safety lessons to several schools in the area.”
