Bus Users UK has released an all-new partner pack for Catch the Bus Month 2025, which will be held in September.
The free digital campaign toolkit can be downloaded from the charity’s website. Catch the Bus Month will bring together all those involved in planning and delivering services, including operators, community groups, local authorities and passengers along with government and NGOs.
Bus Users UK says the 2025 partner pack has a collection of newly designed campaign assets in English and Welsh to promote the month-long celebration. Those include posters, social media graphics and digital badges.
Assets are available in ready-to-use and customisable formats so partners can upload their own logos. They may also do that via the campaign website so their work can be promoted across Bus Users UK platforms. The Catch the Bus Month team will again be on hand in 2025 to offer suggestions, advice and support to all those taking part.
“There are inspiring campaign and event ideas from pop-up bus stops to high-impact collaborations, along with a press kit and the very latest data on the social, economic and environmental benefits of coach and bus travel,” the organisation adds.
This year will again see a return of the iconic red hands that are a defining part of Catch the Bus Month. They are now more easily obtainable via a new online order form.
Speaking about the partner pack, Campaign Manager Victoria Walker says: “Catch the Bus Month goes from strength to strength and this year’s campaign is our most exciting yet.
“Our partner pack is bursting with fresh and inspiring ideas, a bold new look, and a host of ready-to-use and customisable campaign assets, all available in English and Welsh.
“Whether you are an operator, a local authority, government representative or an NGO, if you plan services, deliver them or you are one of the millions of people who rely on them every day – get in touch and get on board.
“Our partners are the driving force behind Catch the Bus Month and with their help, 2025 will be our most groundbreaking yet.”
