Witney charity could feature on a Oxford Bus Company bus

The Mulberry Bush, based in Witney, is among the top 10 finalists in the Oxford Bus Company’s Brand the Bus competition, which offers charities the chance to have their cause featured on a bus.

The winner will receive a prize package worth £100,000.

Russel McIvr, senior fundraising manager at The Mulberry Bush, said: “We are absolutely delighted to be in the top ten.

“To whichever organisation is chosen as the winner, the impact of this prize will be enormous.

“The £100,000 prize package represents an incredible opportunity for thousands, if not millions, of people to see and hear about the vital work charities across Oxfordshire are doing in their communities.”

The Mulberry Bush was one of 71 organisations to enter the competition.

Oxford Bus Company said nearly 9,000 public votes were cast to determine the top 10.

The shortlist includes Age UK Oxfordshire, Alzheimer’s Society, Cure DHDDS, FarmAbility, Opportunity International, Oxford City Farm, Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary, Sobell House Hospice, and SUDEP.

The final decision will now be made by a panel of judges.

The winning charity will have its branding displayed on a double-decker bus.
