If you're wondering whether you can drive an 8 or 9 seater minibus on a standard car licence, the good news is that you can, provided you're not driving it for commercial purposes. However, if you're driving these vehicles as part of your employment or for an organisation, some additional conditions and restrictions may apply. We break down the specifics for each vehicle type in our "Can I Drive an 8 or 9 Seater Minibus on a Car License?" blog ⬇️ #Rivervale #roadsafety #education

Such an inspirational initiative by CT Sussex and we're so pleased to have been able to get involved for The Hyde Group. "Designed to combat social isolation, this environmentally friendly, wheelchair-accessible bus is a game-changer for Midhurst and its surrounding rural areas. As part of a 7-month pilot, the project connects residents to essential services and social opportunities, making it easier than ever to stay active, engaged, and independent." Looks like a shopping trip was first on the agenda! #sussex #community
Along with Rivervale and CT Sussex we’re excited to launch the Hyde Community Bus Project – bringing essential transport to Midhurst and beyond. The Hyde Charitable Trust funded electric, wheelchair accessible bus will benefit residents experiencing rural isolation, poor transport networks, low income and disability, providing trips to shops, support services, and family outings.

Ben and Josh were out and about collecting and delivering food to FareShare UK last Friday. After 4 hours of work, they picked up over 200kg of much needed food from local Tesco superstores. Thank you FareShare Sussex & Surrey for allowing us to help you with your crucial work! If you're in Tesco and have a couple of quid to spare. Please consider putting some bits in the donation basket, such as: tins, non-perishable foods, breads and juices. They all go a long way in helping those in need!
