Stagecoach West partners with accommodation charity

Stagecoach West has partnered with Gloucester Nightstop, providing free bus travel to users of the emergency accommodation charity as it celebrates its 20th birthday.

The charity arranges overnight stays for 16-25-year-olds with partaking local people in Gloucestershire and the involvement with the bus operator means they will be able to travel to their accommodation easily and safely.

Jacob Bradfield, board member of Gloucestershire Nightstop, says: “When somebody becomes homeless, it’s hard to keep the other aspects of their life above water.  The lack of a stable base has devastating impacts on people’s relationships, jobs, education, finances, health and wellbeing.   

“The ability to travel makes homeless young people more resilient, enabling them to keep the rest of their life afloat and limiting the long-term damage caused by homelessness. This is why this partnership is so exciting and its impact on achieving long-term success for young people cannot be overstated.” 

Gloucestershire Nightstop provides short and long-term accommodation, laundry and washing facilities, training, activities, small support grants, peer befriending and advice.

Rachel Geliamassi, Managing Director, Stagecoach West, says: “We’re so pleased to be involved with this wonderful charity and do what we can to support them.  Taking the worry and burden of travel out of the equation will, hopefully, go some way to helping these young people at an incredibly stressful time in their lives.” 

As well as promoting Gloucestershire Nightstop’s services and helping appeal for volunteer hosts on its social media channels, Stagecoach West will advertise the charity on the back of one of its 10 service vehicles.

Jacob adds: “We’d like to thank Stagecoach for being so keen to work with us in pursuit of our mission to prevent and end youth homelessness. This partnership will help us keep our young people moving, recruit new volunteer hosts and recover from the pandemic in our 20th anniversary year. By working together, we can help young people build solid foundations for stable and successful lives.”

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."
