A CHARITY is donating a new Mercedes minibus to a worthy cause and is looking for applications from the Ealing area.

The Axis Foundation,  based in London, has helped hundreds of smaller charities reach out to people in need, through their donations and volunteering.

Until November 21, Axis is accepting applications from registered charities wishing to be considered for this minibus.

Full details can be found on www.axisfoundation.org/minibus along with the application.

You can also help decide on the charity that receives the minibus by taking part in a public vote on the same website from December 8-12.

A previous minibus was donated to a school for autistic children, which enabled a programme of outdoor activities for the youngsters, most of whom were unable to use public transport because of their disabilities.
