$10 donated

Help Delta replace aging minibuses – vital lifelines connecting older people, disabled members & community groups to friendship & support.

Christchurch, Canterbury

Keeping our community connected, one journey at a time

At Delta Community Support Trust, our minibuses are more than just vehicles — they are lifelines that connect people, reduce isolation, and bring our community together.

Every month, our fleet travels thousands of kilometres carrying people to friendship, fun, and opportunities. From bringing Evergreen Club members from across Christchurch into Richmond, to day trips for our Friendship Link group, to helping preschools, sports clubs, and schools access activities — our buses keep our community moving.

But our fleet is aging fast, with vehicles up to 23 years old and more than 255,000km on the clock. With growing demand and rising maintenance costs, it’s becoming harder to keep them on the road.

That’s why we need your help to replace them with modern, safe, and economical minibuses — so that no one misses out on belonging, connection, or opportunity simply because of transport.

💛 Every dollar donated gets us closer to putting a new minibus on the road, serving hundreds of people for years to come.

👉 Please give today and help us keep creating miles of smiles across our community.
