Jimmy Bus

When Jimmy Mizen was murdered in May 2008 his family received £100 from a collection held at Canterbury University, where a friend of the family is a student. The family, knowing that the local Scout group where Jimmy Mizen attended had been raising money for a mini bus, decided to donate the money they received to support the Scouts’ cause. Donations to the family kept coming, so the family, along with friends, decided to continue supporting the mini-bus appeal.

Donations were received from hundreds of people all over the country and on the 1st May 2009 the first two buses were handed over to two local scouting organizations by Comedian Harry Hill. It is the foundations intention to continue to fund raise for more Jimmybuses

The third Jimmy Bus was recently purchased and is available for local registered charities to hire through Lewisham community transport scheme.To find out more go to Lewisham Community Transport scheme
