Stagecoach South East has launched its annual Santa Bus, spreading festive cheer across Thanet throughout December. The bus has been beautifully decorated for the holiday season and will be appearing on a range of local services in the weeks leading up to Christmas.

Passengers travelling across Eastbourne, East Sussex can look out for sparkling snowflakes, colourful festive greetings, and even a surprise visit from Santa Claus, with the chance that one of his elves may join him on board.

The initiative is raising money for Age UK East Sussex, an organisation that provides vital support and services for people over 50 across East Sussex. Throughout the year, and especially during the festive season, AgeUK East Sussex helps older residents stay connected, supported, and engaged within their communities.

Buckets for cash donations are available on board, and those wishing to support the campaign can also donate online.

Joel Mitchell, Managing Director at Stagecoach South East, said: “Our Santa Bus is one of our favourite traditions, and it brings joy to customers of all ages across Thanet. We’re proud to support AgeUK East Sussex again this year, their work makes a real difference to people in our communities, especially during the holidays. We hope everyone who spots the Santa Bus feels a little of that festive magic, and if they can, helps us raise funds for a truly important cause.”
