Johnsons Coaches has unveiled Mencap and The Myton Hospices as its official charity partners for 2025.
The Henley-in-Arden firm raised £8,000 for its nominated charities in 2024 — Arrive Alive and Edward’s Trust — through initiatives that included internal fundraising to customer-supported raffles.
The momentum continues now with a new partnership that will see Johnsons working with both Mencap, which supports individuals with learning disabilities, and The Myton Hospices, which delivers palliative care services across Warwickshire.
As part of its collaboration with Mencap, Johnsons recently hosted a group from Pathway Stratford-upon-Avon, offering a countryside tour aboard its new double-decker coach, followed by a drive through its vehicle wash at the Henley depot.
Bethany Morgan, Head of Marketing and Business Development at Johnsons Coaches reveals that supporting Mencap is incredibly important to the firm. “They make a real difference in our community,” she says. “Pathway Stratford-Upon-Avon played a vital role in the life of someone very close to my heart, offering invaluable support each week. It’s an honour to partner with it and give back in a way that brings joy and new experiences. We look forward to working together throughout the year.”
The operator is also deepening a longstanding relationship with The Myton Hospices. Johnsons has supported the charity in the past via seasonal events, but 2025 marks the beginning of a “formal” partnership. It comes as the charity voices an urgent need for support.
Says Ashley Brown, General Manager at Johnsons: “The Myton Hospices does extraordinary work, providing compassionate care to those who need it most. Their support makes an incredible difference to so many families and we are honoured to help raise funds. We look forward to working together to find new ways to support their vital services and make a real impact.”
Adds Chris Willmott, Partnerships Manager at The Myton Hospices: “We are so very grateful to Johnsons Coaches for selecting Myton as one of its charities of the year. We have never needed the support more, and to see what was already a fabulous relationship blossom in this way is fantastic news for us for the year ahead.”
