I have just read the brief you’ve sent to parish councils. Great minds think alike! My council was embarking on the same sort of project, but having a central project is much better, as there are only a few people per parish who use the bus at present. I am a potential bus user – please keep me informed. Fantastic you are doing this!
Many thanks for your support. Just had a chat with Abthorpe chair and they are too very interested.
Let’s hope we can get the funding sorted to allow us to commence the service. Before social isolation has an impact.
Our first priority is to deliver a once a week shopper bus to allow residents to get the essentials needs of food and banking. Once the scheme grows we aim to run days out, lunch clubs etc. Please spread the word and Wappenham is on the list!
Hi Jane, Thanks for your enquiry, we are in set up phase at the moment, so trying to establish the need and desperately trying to raise funds, so if Parishes would like to contribute we might be in a position to ‘go live’ sooner. thanks Lynn
Good – have you tried the Northamptonshire Community Foundation? I’ve got grants from them in the past. Or the councillors’ grant if that is still going – every parish could ask for a councillors grant for that purpose?
Hi Jane
Apparently NCF don’t have any money until October at the earliest. The County Councillors empowerment funds have gone. We are really struggling to get the funding together at the moment unless we start a massive public giving campaign. Are you interested in assisting us as a volunteer?
Hi Kevin
I think it would be useful to meet up and let us brief you on the project. We can then go thorough the plan as this website is just a holding page at the moment whilst we await for a grant to get it updated

Great! How long do you think it will take? Have you applied for grants yet? I don’t know when this set up, was it recently?
