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.”

andy burnham tfgm £15.6 billion (1) The funding announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves today (4 June) has been allocated to several combined mayoral authorities to use on rail, tram, road and bus infrastructure. Transport for Greater Manchester revealed today that part of the £2.5 billion it will receive will go towards making the Bee Network fully battery-electric by 2030. An as-yet undecided portion of that will support a planned investment in 1,000 new zero-emission buses over that period, the mayoral authority said. That is part of plans to build the UK's "first fully integrated, zero-emission public transport system", with trams and trains also set to benefit. Liverpool City Region's already announced BRT system is among the projects to which its £1.6 billion will be allocated. Under those plans - due for realisation by 2028 - a high-speed network will be served by articulated buses which are modelled on the 'Glider' in Belfast. It is due to link Liverpool city centre with John Lennon Airport, and Liverpool FC and Everton FC's respective stadia along three routes. Although the model of bus has not been confirmed, a Van Hool Exqui.City on loan from Belfast was last year used as a demonstrator. That 18m vehicle can accommodate around 30% more passengers than a typical bus and has three sets of double doors. The funding will also go towards buses elsewhere in the city as the region heads towards franchising services by 2027. Liverpool Mayor Steve Rotheram with a 'Glider' which was on loan from Belfast last year - an example of the sort of bus which could serve the new BRT Bus services in the East Midlands region will be boosted by the funding, thanks to the £2 billion handed to it today by the government. Some of that allocation will be used for a rapid transit network on the Trent Arc between Nottingham and Derby. Between the two cities, the Freeport, Infinity Park Investment Zone and Ratcliffe-on-Soar will also benefit from the improved bus services. South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority's newly announced commitment towards bus franchising has been boosted by £350 million in funding as part of that region's allocation. The funding for West Yorkshire will help build new bus stations in Bradford and Wakefield. Likewise, the Tees Valley Mayoral Authority will put its sum towards a new £15 million bus station in Middlesbrough. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander says: "Today marks a watershed moment on our journey to improving transport across the North and Midlands – opening up access to jobs, growing the economy and driving up quality of life as we deliver our Plan for Change. "For too long, people in the North and Midlands have been locked out of the investment they deserve. With £15.6bn of government investment, we’re giving local leaders the means to drive cities, towns and communities forward, investing in Britain’s renewal so you and your family are better off."
