Wakefield bus operator partners with Global’s Make Some Noise to change lives in local communities
Stagecoach, parent of Wakefield-based bus operator Stagecoach Yorkshire, has announced a new partnership with Global Make Some Noise.
The organisation is the official charity of Global, home to some of the nation’s biggest media brands, including Capital, Heart, LBC and Smooth, and aims to ensure that no-one faces life’s toughest challenges alone.
Since its launch in 2014, Global’s Make Some Noise has funded thousands of life-changing projects delivered by small charities and community groups, transforming the lives of over 227,000 people across the UK.
These projects provide essential lifelines to those in need, whether it’s supporting families facing life-limiting illnesses, helping individuals struggling with their mental health, offering refuge to those escaping domestic abuse or assisting people trying to make ends meet during challenging times.
Matt Kitchin, managing director of Stagecoach Yorkshire, said: “My team and I care deeply about our local communities because we are part of those communities, so we are delighted to be working with a charity partner who can bring essential help to some of the most vulnerable members of our local communities.”
Suzanne Ryder Richardson, director of goodness at Global’s Make Some Noise added: “We’re delighted to welcome Stagecoach as a partner.
"By working together, we can support even more inspiring projects that provide vital lifelines in communities where they’re needed most - ensuring no-one has to face life’s toughest challenges alone.
"This partnership shows what’s possible when organisations come together to create lasting change.”
