⁣Gerry Watkins, 54, launched the Big Yellow Bus Project in June 2017,
when he came up with the idea of sheltering the homeless during the
winter months.
Since then, he has raised enough money to purchase a £3,000 bus through
fundraising gigs across the region.

Gerry’s big yellow bus is now fully refurbished. The seats were removed,
and bed compartments have been fitted for timber-framed bunk beds.
Gerry raised the money to buy most of the materials by doing events.

A new gas hob and sink unit has also been fitted. Moreton C Cullimore
donated a new wood burning stove too!

The beds are treated with fire retardant paint and mattresses were
provided by the Royal Agricultural University, Cirencester. Curtains
made of a fire retardant material were provided by a local resident.

All the work carried out for the project was checked by the relevant
authority and any homeless person using the bus must be signed up to a
rehabilitation course.

Gerry also hopes to set up training courses to help the homeless get
back into work.
The Big Yellow Bus Project is hoping that more businesses and
organisations can support its cause so that more buses can be provided
for other areas around Wiltshire and Gloucestershire.
