Your Door-to-Door Minibus Service
F
ounded in 1974 Community Minibus Association (West Sussex) is a registered charity that offers residents an affordable and friendly, door to door transport service for all age groups. Operating as West Sussex Minibus, they run a fleet of ten minibuses from eight Divisions across the county and are run entirely by volunteers. It is a welcoming, year-round service providing a great way to catch up with old friends and meet new ones. West Sussex Minibus’ mission is to have a positive and meaningful impact on the community, keeping residents active, independent and socially connected. From their Billingshurst Division, the whole of the RH14 9 postcode is served. Including Billingshurst, the minibus service area extends to The Haven, Coneyhurst and Adversane. In addition, Wisborough Green Division and Petworth Divison, which covers Kirdford, offer a separate, dedicated schedule of trips. Membership comes with a year-round calendar of excursions, with morning and afternoon
departures offered. Trips to Horsham, Chichester, Shoreham (Holmbush) and Bognor Regis are scheduled regularly, along with a variety of social outings. Excursions include scenic drives to the seaside towns of Eastbourne and Worthing, alongside lunch and afternoon tea trips. In addition, there are fun days out such as Mystery Drives and to popular attractions like Tangmere Airport Museum. For anyone needing a little extra help, assistance is on hand to support passengers getting on and off the minibus, as well as carrying shopping to their home. Individual Membership for the full year is just £8, plus a nominal per trip fare when travelling on one of their services. Day memberships are also available. Not for Profit and Community Groups can also utilise the Associations’ minibuses to support their activities when joining as Affiliate Members. From youth or sports clubs to faith or hobby groups, all can register with West Sussex Minibus. Membership is £30 for a full year. Other memberships are available.
