About Daisy Ring Bus

The Daisy Ring Bus CIC is now firmly established as a vital Island lifeline — and what began as a community response has rapidly grown into a major transport operation supporting cancer patients every single day.

Thanks to extraordinary community backing, the service has been running successfully and now carries around 2,000 passengers every month, ensuring Islanders can access essential hospital treatment with reliability, dignity, and care.

In January, the Daisy Ring Bus took over the Portsmouth route, ensuring continuity of transport for patients who rely on this journey. Just one month on, Portsmouth is already a significant part of our operation — a clear reflection of the level of need and the trust placed in the service.

For over 20 years, the Daisy Bus has represented far more than transport. When previous funding came to an end, the community rallied to protect this vital lifeline. Led by Michèle Le Quesne Newton, the Daisy Ring Bus Community Interest Company (CIC) was formed to secure its future — and the response has been nothing short of remarkable.

With early support from Xelabus and continued generosity from the public, our own Daisy Ring Buses are now fully operational and firmly on the road. Day after day, it supports hundreds of Islanders travelling to Southampton and Portsmouth for treatment — offering reassurance, kindness, and a familiar face at a time when it matters most.

Our ethos remains simple:
to make one part of every cancer patient’s journey a little easier.

Every trip matters.


Every passenger matters.

And every donation helps keep this essential service running — covering fuel, maintenance, and supporting our incredible volunteer drivers — so that the Daisy Ring Bus can continue to be there for those who need it most, now and into the future.
