Thank you @AdamFowlerITV for sharing this story, we are deeply saddened that someone could steal a specially adapted minibus that so many older @calderdale residents rely on to meet up with friends @AgeUKCK @age_uk @Calderdale @RodmellCarol @SteveMDuncanDL
5 Minibuses stolen from community groups in the Calderdale area in the last fortnight, including at @AgeUKCK . A shocking story, though it was a pleasure to meet these ladies today.
Please look out for this minibus and report any sightings to the police. We rely on this bus to get clients into our day care centre, so any information on its whereabouts is vital to us! Thank you
