Celebrate 65
We are celebrating our 65th birthday in 2022 and to mark the occasion our staff and volunteers are taking to the roads across Sussex in a beautiful vintage bus!
Come and join us for some birthday cake and bubbles, sign our giant touring birthday card and have a selfie for our #65years of smiles…
65th Roadshow Tour
Look out for our Birthday Party Bus – The Brighton Regency Routemaster – which will be dressed up for the occasion in brightly coloured celebratory ribbon and bunting. You won’t be able to miss our bright red double decker vintage bus which will be touring around Sussex at various times in Summer and Autumn.
