Allsorts Youth Project to benefit from this year's Santa Bus!

In just six weeks, Santa Claus will swap his sleigh for the iconic Brighton & Hove Santa Bus, bringing festive joy to communities across the city while raising vital funds for local charities, including LGBTQ+ youth charity Allsorts Youth Project. 

Now in its 22nd year, Santa Bus will tour 20 routes over 20 nights from 24 November - 23 December, lighting up the streets and hearts of Brighton & Hove. Since its launch, the Santa Bus has raised an incredible £453,000 - and this year, they’re aiming even higher.

Brighton & Hove Buses is inviting local businesses to become official Santa Bus Charity Collection Points. This is an opportunity to show your support for 12 local charities; drive footfall to your premises during the busy festive season; be part of a city tradition that brings joy to thousands.

Collection Points will receive promotional materials and be featured on Brighton & Hove Buses’ website and social media, helping customers find and support your business while donating to a great cause.

Mayor of Brighton & Hove, Councillor Amanda Grimshaw BEM, said: “I am truly honoured that the Santa Bus has chosen the Mayor’s Charities this year. The Santa Bus not only raises vital funds but also brings Christmas cheer and spirit to our city while shining a light on the incredible work of charities across Brighton & Hove.

"I am so looking forward to joining the charities, Brighton & Hove Buses staff, and the amazing volunteers who make this magical tradition possible and raising much needed funds’’  

Ed Wills, Managing Director of Brighton & Hove Buses, said: “We’re incredibly grateful to the local community and businesses who make the Santa Bus possible. Becoming a Collection Point is a simple but powerful way to give back and be part of something magical.”
