Colleagues from Kinchbus have chosen Epilepsy Action as their charity of the year for 2025 and beyond.
The Loughborough-based bus operator’s staff will be organising fundraising events large and small over the next 24 months in aid of the national charity supporting people with epilepsy.
Charlotte Stern, corporate partnerships manager at Epilepsy Action UK, visited the Kinchbus depot in Loughborough to help launch the partnership.
Charlotte said: “We are delighted that Epilepsy Action is the Kinchbus chosen charity for the next two years. Their support will help fund our key services and raise awareness of a condition that is incredibly misunderstood.
“Over the next two years, we look forward to collaborating with the team to fundraise and working together to help create a world without limits for people with epilepsy.”
Tom Morgan, managing director of Kinchbus, said: “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Epilepsy Action. Their work is incredibly important, and we’re looking forward to supporting their mission through a range of activities that will involve our team, our passengers and the wider community.”
Among the many services which Kinchbus staff fundraising will be supporting, Epilepsy Action provides a helpline, one-to-one support through befriending and local support groups.
In the Kinchbus area Epilepsy Action has support groups that meet monthly in Leicester and Nottingham.
