Some rat has stolen Regenerate-RISE's new minibus: please look out for it

It's been specially converted to be dementia-friendly and is their newest bus, so they're particularly keen to recover it. It was stolen from Darfur Street at the weekend and spotted soon after in Balham and Southfields but they haven't managed to recover it. It's a grey Ford Transit with Regenerate-RISE's logo prominently displayed; the registration number is YT14 UYU. I'll try to add a photo but haven't been very successful adding images to the site recently so it may just appear as a blankPlease give any information that might help them to Mo Smith on 07774 116972

There's a justgiving page which Mo had to set up to cover the difference after insurance pays up. About £10,000 short.https://www.justgiving.comMy tablet won't copy the whole address, but if you search regenerate rise, bus and justgiving you should find it. Think she's got about 8200 so far, so just needs a bit more help.

From what I can tell it's a 2014 Ford Transit with something over 35,200 miles on it.Hopefully with all the police NPR cameras around they'll pick it up before it's too late.I'm sure the villains will have already taken the logos off if they were vinyls.It might be worth searching the for-sale sites to see if anything comes up there, only amateur thieves would try and sell it that way but you never know...

The Mayor of Wandsworth's charity is sponsoring a bike ride to help Regenerate RISE replace the bus. Might be worth supporting.

Thank you for that, Michael: it's odd (and rather frustrating) that the image doesn't show on the old site but does on the new.

Richard, the image displays on the new interface so I managed to share it on my Flickr site:https://flic.kr/p/2kUbocLWhat a despicable act by some enemies of decent society 😟

Hope such an asset so valuable to those who use it is found.

It is despicable, Regenerate are a wonderful organisation.  Their day care helps people stay independent for longer.

As I was afraid, posting an image  hasn't worked but has just left a  blank page. Grrr!

That's shocking...
