Accuro
Transport for young people and adults with a disability
For local children, young people and adults with a disability and their families Accuro offers a great range of activities and outings in West Essex.
Our 2018 donation of £5,560 helped transport members to social activities including trips to the seaside. These respite trips reduce loneliness and provide fun, friendship and entertainment.
And in 2024 we made an additional donation of £12,500 to complete the purchase of a Citroen Enterprise Flexilite minibus with two wheelchair spaces.
“Thanks to everyone at AXIS – you have helped make a real difference to people with learning disability in West Essex. We can help our members learn new life skills, as well as reduce social isolation while increasing their confidence and giving them the independence and opportunity to integrate with their local community ” – Natalie Trapmore, Grants and Trusts Fundraiser
