💙

A MASSIVE thank you to Bluestar for their support. It was great to meet Phil and Tim recently from the Bluestar Travel Shop in Southampton and collect the fab amount of £390.97.

This amount could pay for 15 hours of emotional, practical and financial support from one of our specialist social workers on the Piam Brown Ward (children’s oncology ward) and Teenage and Young Adult Ward at Southampton Hospital. Thank you so much all for your much appreciated support. 💙

A new look for our team!⭐

You may notice some of our drivers wearing a new-look uniform over the coming weeks.

We've introduced a more flexible range of uniform options, giving colleagues greater choice and comfort while working throughout the year – whether it's the height of summer or the middle of winter.

While ties and cravats are no longer required, drivers can still wear them if they prefer. The new uniform also includes a choice of styles, allowing colleagues to select the options that suit them best while maintaining a smart and professional appearance.

We hope you'll agree the new uniforms look fantastic – and that giving our colleagues more choice helps them feel comfortable, confident and ready to serve our communities.
