Branded double-decker will help spread the word on changing young people’s lives
Educational charity Run With It, which empowers learners across Hull, East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, has announced East Yorkshire Buses as its newest partner – with the launch of a striking branded double-decker bus. Run With It delivers innovative programmes to boost core skills in maths and English, while also nurturing vital life skills such as confidence, communication and resilience.
By partnering with schools and businesses, the charity helps children build belief in themselves and thrive both in the classroom and beyond. Lisa Dawson is director of Run With It, which is seeing demand for programmes at an all-time high.
She said: “We are absolutely thrilled to have the support of East Yorkshire Buses. Not only are they getting behind what we do, but they’ve gone one step further and branded a full double-decker bus for us.

“It’s such a fun and unique way to spread the word about our charity. Even better, the bus will help transport school groups who might not otherwise be able to attend our programmes.
“It’s support like this that helps us reach more young people and make a real difference.” Ben Gilligan, managing director of East Yorkshire Buses, said: “East Yorkshire Buses is thrilled to partner with Run With It who do an amazing job supporting young people with experiences that could change their lives and future prospects.
“This very much aligns with our own values of caring for the community and we feel that by partnering with them, we can help make a difference. We are loving the eye-catching branded bus that has been designed in partnership with the team and hope that this will raise the profile of a fantastic charity and all the work they do.”
The bus, designed by Nick Hill, of NM Design in Scunthorpe, is already turning heads as it shows the charity’s growing impact across the region. Run With It currently operates from seven inspiring locations: Hull’s MKM Stadium; Flemingate Shopping Centre in Beverley; Bridlington Town Football Club; Sewell Group Craven Park in east Hull; Humberside Airport; Grimsby Town FC’s Blundell Park and The Attis Arena, the home of Scunthorpe United.
