Donate To the SOS Bus
Now we are an independent charity, your donations will be vitally important to keep the SOS Bus running on certain Friday and Saturday nights in Norwich and play an important part in keeping people safe and reduce unnecessary A&E visits and ambulance call outs. Our aim is to keep the service running on reduced nights until we can find alternative funding.
The SOS Bus could not run without the commitment and dedication of our volunteers and the amazing support by businesses providing their services and resources for free.
It costs around £1000/shift to keep the service running and we do not receive any statutory funding for the cost of the service, and rely on grants and donations, so help and assistance from you and sponsorship from businesses is vital for the service to continue.
Our running costs include a qualified CQC registered Paramedic, Emergency First Responder and appropriate security for every shift as well as overheads such as insurance, diesel, vehicle maintenance, medical supplies, storage, emergency phones, volunteer uniform and PPE, ongoing volunteer training.

Please get in touch if you would like to fundraise for the SOS Bus or would like to sponsor particular aspects of the service. Every pound we raise will ensure we have a safer Norwich.
