We are asking for your help this Christmas to support our Share the Magic campaign.
A campaign designed to support families who might not be able to give this Christmas, we would like to encourage colleagues and members of the public to help us share some magic.
Donation stations are being set up across the county this December for staff and passengers to give back this Christmas.
Located in Exeter, Torquay, Barnstaple and Plymouth we will be collecting gifts to support families who may go without through no fault of their own this Christmas.
We have selected four charities to support at our main depots and stations.
Across our Exeter network we'll be supporting:
Action for Children – Exeter Family Hub
Across our Torbay network we'll be supporting:
The Patchwork Women’s and Children Centre
Across our Plymouth network we'll be supporting:
Trevi
Across our North Devon network we'll be supporting:
North Devon Against Domestic Abuse
Where to donate
Passengers can donate their gifts at the customer service point in Exeter Bus Station, while staff donation points are available in Torquay, Plymouth and Barnstaple.
