National Express UK Bus Division (including Travel West Midlands and Travel Dundee) and national charity 'Transplants in Mind' are pleased to announce today that both organisations have joined in partnership to promote National Transplant Week (9th - 16th July) through an extensive on-bus promotional campaign across the West Midlands.

I sincerely hope that by running this massive promotional campaign on 850 of our buses in the West Midlands we will help the charity, raise the profile of the excellent work they are doing and hopefully help those people in need of treatment.

Mr Bateman added, "We are pleased to be working with Gary Payne and his colleagues at Transplants in Mind. They work tirelessly to help a range of different people in need of organ transplants within the UK and we fully support their objectives and applaud their commitment."

Gary Payne, Vice Chairman for Transplants In Mind commented; "We are so pleased to once again be working with Phil and Travel West Midlands. The company have been very supportive and I can?t thank them enough."

A limited edition coving vinyl is now appearing on 850 of TWM buses in the West Midlands. 150 of the vinyls are on buses in the Wolverhampton area. The vinyl gives information on how to become a donor through working with Transplants in Mind alongside the charity's website.
