The Purple bus will be in Cowfold Village this week to celebrate its 21st birthday on an epic scale – with a party for buses.

Celebrating more than two decades of making a difference to the lives of young adults, people and fellow youth service buses are invited to the Village Green on 22nd June from 4-7pm.

It was originally formed by West Sussex County Council Young People’s Service and Action in Rural Sussex with other local councils, housing associations and Sussex Police.

The Purple Bus, which runs several evenings a week in areas where there is little or no youth activities, was used by around 600 young people aged between 13-21 last year.
