About this project

We are hopeful to purchase an electric minibus for use in the community of Tillydrone.  We aim to provide services for vulnerable/disabled adults/children, elderly folks & low income families.  

The minibus would be used for a variety of activities, these would include: providing transport for those who have mobility issues, possibly for shopping, appointments etc, funded outings etc. We could also provide transport for volunteers to carry out community work. The minibus can also double up as a van to distribute care packages or similar within  our community. We could also provide travel for other groups within Tillydrone

‘Sharp Response’ provides a daily mobile crisis outreach service targeted to those alcohol/drug users deemed to be at highest risk. The service goes to the individual wherever they are, rather than waiting for the individual to come to the service and so we are requesting funds for an electric car to make our service more sustainable.

We propose to purchase and kit-out an electric vehicle as an interactive mobile Climate Change exhibit, along with graphics to explain the benefits of switching to electric and illustrate the reduction in our carbon footprint.
