“To be able to help raise awareness and profile for a local organisation that does incredible work is something we are pleased to be able to support,” CDC NSW CEO David Mead says.
“Red Bus has been a part of this community for 80 plus years, and our intention as Red Bus CDC NSW is to continue to represent the communities we operate.”
Coast Shelter, a pillar of the Central Coast community for over 30 years, provides crucial services addressing homelessness, domestic and family violence, and poverty. The organisation has grown from a single refuge to a community housing provider operating ten specialist homelessness services.
Coast Shelter CEO Lee Shearer expressed enthusiasm for the partnership saying, “We are thrilled to see Redbus CDC NSW launch this bus wrapped in Coast Shelter branding, complete with pictures of our dedicated staff and volunteers.”
“This initiative beautifully highlights the strong community focus that both Coast Shelter and Redbus CDC NSW share.”
Red Bus CDC NSW covered the costs to design and wrap the bus which will serve as a mobile billboard, spreading awareness of Coast Shelter’s mission and encouraging community involvement. This initiative underscores Red Bus CDC NSW’s commitment to fostering strong community connections while providing reliable transportation services.
