The wheels of the Uttlesford Buffy Bus will turn a little easier following the donation of more than £1,500.
Organisers of the charity hosted a quiz night at Sewards End village hall, in November, and they were assisted by staff members of the Santander Saffron Walden branch.
The bank also matched the takings, and presented a cheque to representative of the playbus last week. It will help in its work to provide early years activities for pre-school children and their carers in rural and isolated communities within Uttlesford.
Branch manager Robert Simmonds said: “I have been on the bus to see what goes on and I know what great work the charity does. It was a good opportunity for us to make a difference in the community.”
Buffy Bus project manager, Rosie Juhl, said: “It is an excellent amount of money to raise and we would very much like to thank Santander.”
The quiz night raised a total of £2,600.
