Our milestone 100th minibus was presented by Steve Morgan to Walton Youth & Community Project in April 2024. The brand new minibus replaced their ailing 15-year-old bus, which was proving too costly to keep on the road and was impacting on the charity’s funds.
Walton Youth was founded in 1960 as a centre to engage with young people and families from the local area and wider community of Walton in North Liverpool. Their mission is to provide a bustling hub of community activity involving people of all ages. They adopt a ‘grassroots’ approach to encourage meaningful relationships, increase opportunities and aspirations, provide an inclusive service and enable active participation.
The new minibus will allow the charity to continue offering enrichment activities and day trips as well as provide its daily services of delivering food parcels and activity packs to the vulnerable, unwell and young carers. It will also provide the transport for taking members to health appointments, job interviews, educational events and shopping trips for those who struggle to access the shops on their own.
