One Journey, Twice the Impact

Donations to the Focus Birmingham Christmas appeal will this year have double the impact. Not only will every pound you donate help keep our fleet of specially adapted minibuses on the road, it will also have a huge effect on the people we support.

We’re aiming to raise £15,000 this festive season—which will help fund our life-changing transport service.

Focus Transport: Keeping People Connected

For people with complex disabilities, Focus Birmingham’s accessible transport is far more than just a journey—it’s a lifeline. Many of our service users cannot use public transport due to profound physical and health challenges. Some are supported by elderly parents or carers who simply cannot manage the journey alone.

Without our transport service, people would miss out on vital therapy, care, and connection. Worse still, they’d be isolated at home, cut off from the world around them.

“For many of the people we support, we’re more than just a bus ride — 

 

we’re a lifeline. Without us, they might not see anyone all week. Bringing them to the centre means laughter, friendship, and a sense of belonging they wouldn’t have otherwise.”
– Focus Transport Driver

How Your Donation Helps

Your gift this Christmas will keep our buses on the road—ensuring that every weekday, our trained drivers and passenger assistants can safely bring people to our Complex Needs Day Service, where they receive expert care, stimulation, and the chance to thrive.

Thanks to supporters like you, our transport:

• Reduces isolation and improves wellbeing

• Enables access to vital care, therapy and peer support

• Supports carers by easing pressure on families

• Promotes independence and dignity for people with severe disabilities

Real Moments. Real Impact.

“We stopped at McDonald’s for a loo-break and a police officer invited Tara to sit in the van after she told them it was her birthday. I took photos to share with her dad and her friends at Focus—her dad was over the moon. It was such a special moment for her.”

“If transport was cut, it would be devastating. The people we support would be stuck at home unless a parent could bring them—and that’s not always possible. They light up when they see us. When we can’t take them in, their whole face changes. It breaks your heart—and their parents’ too.”

Double the Impact

Your donation can go twice as far:

• £50 doubled to £100 could fund a day of transport for multiple individuals

• £100 doubled to £200 could help provide a week of journeys to the centre for one person

• £250 doubled to £500 could support vehicle maintenance, fuel, and staff training
