Story
At Vans For Bands we have offered our tour buses to NHS Hospitals for front line doctors and nurses to use as rest facilities during the COVID--19 crisis. We currently have tour buses parked at The Royal Berkshire NHS Trust Hospital, The Whittington Health NHS Trust Hospital, The Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Trust, The North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation and Trust Hospital, and The Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust.
We have more hospitals asking for us to provide tour buses as rest facilities for their staff but we have run out of money to cover the running costs of the vehicles. We desperately need your help to allow us to send tour buses out to more hospitals and to help cover the running costs of the tour buses we have already deployed. Without additional funding we cannot do this!!
At many UK hospitals there is desperate need for on-site sleeping and rest facilities for NHS staff who are working long or extended shifts or who need to get some well needed rest during or between gruelling 12+ hour shifts when going home is not an option.
We're asking for your support so we can provide these at no cost to our hospitals and amazing front line care teams.
Your generous donations will enable us to fund only the running costs for providing this invaluable service; we are not making any profit, simply covering running costs.
Please help us to help those who help us all in this difficult time.
Any unused funds will be donated to each of the hospital charities where our buses are being utilised.
