Forres Osprey bus

Helping Forres Folk reach their destination

WELCOME

Forres Osprey Bus is a voluntary organisation which was formed in 1973. RAF Kinloss provided the first vehicle but since the departure of the RAF from Kinloss in 2012 the bus has been based at the Forres House Community Centre.

Today, the bus can be used by groups or organisations from the Forres Academy catchment area to support activities for people who experience disadvantage through age, disability, ill-health, financial or other hardship.

Go to Booking the Bus for information on how to make a booking.

We are hoping to re-start day trips which is a valuable service especially for those that might be experiencing loneliness and isolation. Sadly, since the lockdowns we no longer have any registered volunteer drivers, so if you have time and would like to help, please get in touch.
