Johnsons Coaches Announces Charity Partnerships for 2025

Supporting Our Community Through Meaningful Collaboration

Johnsons Coaches is proud to announce its Charity of the Year partnerships for 2025, joining forces with Mencap and The Myton Hospices. This initiative reflects Johnsons' ongoing commitment to giving back to the communities it serves, raising awareness and funds for two incredible causes throughout the year.

Building on Last Year’s Success

In 2024, Johnsons Coaches raised an outstanding £8,000 for its two chosen charities:

• Arrive Alive Charity – funding lifesaving emergency response vehicles.

• Edward's Trust – providing specialist bereavement support for families.

Through a range of initiatives, including internal fundraising events, raffles at the company’s brochure launch, and contributions from coach trips, Johnsons made a meaningful impact. The company extends heartfelt thanks to its dedicated staff, loyal customers and fundraising partners for making this possible.

Driving Support for Mencap

For 2025, Johnsons will be supporting Mencap, a leading charity dedicated to helping people with learning disabilities. To celebrate the partnership, Johnsons recently invited Mencap’s team and those they support for a special experience. Guests enjoyed a scenic countryside journey aboard the company’s new double-decker coach, led by Training

Instructor Paul Stevens, followed by a fun-filled drive through the coach wash at Johnsons' Henley-in-Arden depot.

Bethany Morgan, Head of Marketing & Business Development at Johnsons Coaches, shared her personal connection to the cause: "Supporting Mencap is incredibly important to us. They make a real difference in our community, providing opportunities for people with learning disabilities. Pathway Stratford-Upon-Avon played a vital role in the life of someone very close to my heart, offering invaluable support each week. It’s an honour to partner with them and give back in a way that brings joy and new experiences. We look forward to working together throughout the year."

Strengthening Ties with The Myton Hospices

The company is also partnering with The Myton Hospices, which provides compassionate care for adults with lifelimiting illnesses across Warwickshire. While Johnsons has supported Myton for many years through initiatives such as its festive Santa Sleigh fundraiser, this formal partnership marks a significant step in strengthening their collaboration.

Ashley Brown, General Manager at Johnsons Coaches, expressed his support for the charity: "The Myton Hospices does extraordinary work, providing compassionate care to those who need it most. Their support makes an incredible difference to so many families and we are honoured to help raise funds. We look forward to working together to find new ways to support their vital services and make a real impact."

Chris Willmott, Partnerships Manager at The Myton Hospices, added: “We are so very grateful to Johnsons Coaches for selecting Myton as one of its charities of the year. We have never needed the support more, and to see what a fabulous relationship blossom in this way was already is fantastic news for us for the year ahead."

Making a Difference Together

As part of the Charity of the Year programme, Johnsons Coaches will actively promote both charities across its marketing channels, including its website, social media, and customer communications. Throughout the year, Johnsons will collaborate with Mencap and Myton on fundraising events, offer discounted transport for their activities, and share impactful stories to raise awareness of their vital work.
