We. Have. Lift-Off ✨ We are absolutely THRILLED to tell you that our very first guest on the bus has just settled into his bunk for the night 🚌 Proper update soon but for now all there is to say is this: we could not be happier ❤️

Three words: broken down bus 🤦‍♀️ And just days before our first guest was due on-board! The full story is over on our Facebook page: https://t.co/FQN1Nymkzh We’re hoping the magicians @ Colchester Fuel Injection will get her back on her feet (well, wheels) ASAP 💪

A great big ‘thank you!’ to the wonderful Colchester Ladies' Circle for supporting us for a second year 🚌 Project manager Vic had a great time meeting with the ladies this week, updating them on our beautiful bus and collecting this cheque for a fantastic £485!

We’re currently fundraising for the essential day-to-day stuff that will keep our bus ticking over: for example, fuel (important) and tea (even more important). If you would like to make a small donation, you can do so here: https://t.co/V55fp0nFlH RTs appreciated. Thank you! 🚌
