Powered by a community doing great things

Thanks to our amazing supporters, we have been able to continue funding the Bristol city centre hospitals and Weston General hospital shuttle buses, while ensuring they remain free of charge for all staff, patients and visitors. 

We know how worrying a hospital visit can be and with limited parking available near the hospitals, the free buses are an essential service in our community. If you'd like to support the hospital bus service, you can make a donation here. Whatever you can give will be greatly appreciated by us and the 2,000 staff, patients and visitors who use the buses every month. Thank you!

 When the weather's bad, or if I'm in a rush, I catch your brilliant bus service. I only work part-time and earn the minimum wage, so having the free service makes a big difference to me.
 

Funded by you


A big thanks to our generous donors and fundraisers who help us fund this valuable bus service each year.

Free Bristol hospital shuttle bus “The location of the Bristol city centre hospitals mean that the journey can be very daunting even for people that are healthy and able bodied due to the steep hill from Lower Maudlin Street to much of the site."

"The difficulty for patients and visitors on reaching their appointments on time due to a lack of parking causes stress and anxiety. The provision of a free bus service seeks to remove this element of stress and promote ease of access to our hospitals for all."

“There are also indirect patient health benefits with the provision of the bus, as at full capacity it can carry 29 people which is approximately 10 cars avoiding journeys to our hospitals, reducing the emissions and making the air around our hospitals cleaner."

"I'd like to thank Bristol & Weston Hospitals Charity for their ongoing support of this service."

 


Bristol & Weston Hospitals Charity is proud to help fund the free hospital shuttle bus service. Together with your donations, we can bring more moments of joy, comfort and hope to those who need it most across all ten UHBW hospitals.
