Our Firefly Express vehicles provide a free shuttle transport service for local people in the borough of Doncaster who are undergoing cancer treatments at regional cancer centres. Firefly 1 was donated by Fil Adams-Mercer through Channel 4’s Secret Millionaire to ease the psychological, physical and financial stress faced by patients and their families.
We were able to purchase Firefly 2 in 2012, made possible by the Diamond Jubilee grant given to Firefly by the West Yorkshire Freemasons. Firefly 3 was donated by One Call Insurance. That was followed by Firefly 4 and Firefly 5, made possible due to money raised by holding the Equinox Ball.
Thanks to some fantastic donations and fundraising events, we now have a fleet of vehicles used to transport cancer patients to regional treatment hospitals, driven by our incredible team of volunteer drivers. Every penny we raise goes back into Firefly to make sure the wheels keep on turning.
