Uttlesford Buffy Bus

Uttlesford is a large rural area in North West Essex where the average weekly income is lower than the average in Essex as a whole. Local transport infrastructure is poor, which is a significant problem, particularly for families on low incomes who cannot afford alternative transport.

Uttlesford Buffy Bus is a rural, roaming playschool which travels to villages in the District providing children, their families and carers with a fun and welcoming place to meet. Trained play-leaders provide on-board learning sessions helping the children to develop skills that supports their transition into Primary education.

We support the running costs of the Buffy Bus, covering necessities such as insurance and fuel, to keep the project moving.
