Compaid revamps vehicle fleet
Friday, 29 July 2011
Compaid's fleet of accessible minibuses has been overhauled thanks to the generous support of three major donors.
Six new vehicles, in a striking yellow, have now taken to the road to replace older minibuses that had each done well over 100,000 miles. The new vehicles were funded by the Wolfson Foundation, the Stanley Thomas Johnson Foundation, and the Social Enterprise Investment Fund.
Two of the vehicles were named after Lorna Ridgway and Dennis Kentish, respectively the Founder of Compaid and the charity's Chairman from 2000 until 2009.
The revamped fleet is now ready to take disabled and elderly people on journeys throughout Kent and the South East.
