Applications are now open to be the next Charity of Choice partner of Lothian Buses and Edinburgh Trams.
This year, following the integration of bus and tram operations in the city, Edinburgh Trams will join Lothian Buses in supporting a dedicated charity partner, bringing even more colleagues and customers together behind causes that make a real difference in the communities we serve.
Gaynor Marshall, Communications Director for Lothian Buses and Edinburgh Trams, said: “As one of the region’s largest employers, we are committed to playing an active role in the communities we serve and helping make a positive difference to the lives of local people.
“Our partnership with Age Scotland has been incredibly rewarding, and we are proud to have supported its vital work to improve the lives of older people across Edinburgh and the Lothians.
“As we look ahead, we are excited to build a new partnership that can make an equally meaningful impact. We would encourage charities of all sizes, representing a wide range of causes, to put themselves forward for the opportunity to work with us throughout 2027 and 2028.”
“Applications are open from today, and we look forward to hearing from organisations that share our commitment to supporting local communities”.
Stacey Kitzinger, Director of Fundraising and Marketing at Age Scotland, said: “We are immensely proud of what we have achieved together with Lothian Buses. Their support has helped us reach more older people, raise awareness of our services, and promote the importance of connection and community.
“Whether through fundraising, volunteering, or sharing how we can help to thousands of passengers across the region, Lothian Buses has shown a genuine commitment to improving the lives of older people. On behalf of everyone at Age Scotland, thank you for being such a valued partner.”
Applications to be Lothian Buses and Edinburgh Trams’ next Charity of Choice can be submitted online at lothianbuses.com/charity/. The first stage of applications will close on Friday 18 September.
