Morebus is celebrating two years of fundraising for its corporate good cause of 2024 and 2025, with a total of £57,700 raised for University Hospitals Dorset NHS Charity.
.
The local bus operator has been raising funds and creating awareness to help the charity enhance the treatment and care of patients accessing NHS services at Royal Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch hospitals.
“University Hospitals Dorset NHS Charity is a crucial local resource, helping to pay for additional equipment, research and innovations – as well as finishing touches and ‘extras’ that complement the existing high-quality care for patients across the three towns,” said Morebus head of communications, Nikki Honer.
“It provides financial support to areas of the hospitals’ services that lie beyond the scope of NHS funding – and this is of enormous benefit to thousands of people living across our area.
“Our corporate charity is voted for by the Morebus team. Many of my colleagues have benefited directly from the support University Hospitals Dorset NHS Charity provides, so we are thrilled to have been able to raise almost £58,000 towards this vital resource.”
University Hospitals Dorset NHS Charity, corporate fundraiser, Hayley Harris said: “Having the backing from Morebus for two years has been a joy, and we are so grateful for their support. The whole team from Morebus have pulled out all the stops to make their funds go as far as possible for our hospitals. We cannot make the special differences for our patients and staff alone. Working together with amazing teams like Morebus enables us to help transform care for Dorset. £57,700 is a phenomenal amount and has gone towards special extras like the new maternity department and new CT scanner in the BEACH Building at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital.”
Morebus will spend the next two years fundraising for Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance, which it has named as its corporate charity for 2026 and 2027.
