Accessible Transport

Helping to keep our community connected

Accessible minibuses and transport costs transforming lives

Accessible transport enables disabled youngsters and the elderly to participate in educational and social activities in the community. A specially adapted minibus can take groups on special and memorable days out, providing stimulation for them and often much needed respite for their Carers. 

Without TVF's support for accessible transport, the quality of life for many residents of the boroughs of Kingston and Richmond, both young and old,  would be vastly reduced.

The Foundation has partnered with RAKAT CT, several local organisations and special schools in addressing this area and has contributed towards the cost of over 12 accessible minibuses and in additional has funded accessible transport costs for specific activities.

…"thank you" to The Victoria Foundation … our new bus will allow our pupils (all of whom have learning difficulties and additional complex needs) to access the full range of curriculum-supporting trips, school journeys, enrichment and extracurricular activities
