THE public vote for the Oxford Bus Company’s Brand the Bus competition has now closed, and 10 good causes have been nominated for the grand finale.

About 5,800 unique online votes were cast for 37 entries made by charities and good causes to be branded on a bus.

Helen & Douglas House, Chron’s and Colitis UK, Blue Skye Thinking, SeeSaw, Girlguiding Oxford, Maggie’s Oxford, Shine Cancer Support, Sobell House, Oasis and Cyclox made it into the top 10.

Oxford Bus Company managing director Phil Southall said: “A big thank to all of the charities and good causes that entered.”

A judging panel will sit later this month to select the winner.
