On the 11th of January the Buses 4 Homeless team was selected by the Hotel Booking Agents Association (HBAA) as their 2019 charity of choice and asked to join their Black Tie Annual Dinner in order to raise money for our project.
We were blown away by the love, compassion and the sheer volume of people and organisations who loved our project and raised a phenomenal amount of money.
We were hoping to raise £5,000 to be able to buy our first bus. We ended up raising an incredible £27,000 throughout the evening which will be nearly enough to complete an entire bus!
A tremendous thanks to everyone who donated auction and raffle prizes. To Angie Mason in-coming chair of the HBAA, Louisa Watson, Lex Butler, the committee members and everyone that made that night the best of our lives, thank you!
