Adapt (North East)
Adapt North East new minibusAdapt (North East) is a disability organisation located in Tynedale and now covering the North East region. One of Adapt's main services is a community transport scheme including home-to-school contracts for disabled children and dial-a-ride shopping services for elderly less mobile people.
Adapt had an ageing fleet of vehicles which were in need of what was becoming constant repair and needed replacing. It was unrealistic to raise funds for vehicles and also this could have had an effect on how and who could use them.
CapitaliSE helped Adapt to develop a strategy and business plan taking account of local authority changes.  The plan included widening the area of operation and buying new vehicles.  A loan of £50,000 was raised and the business was put on a more sustainable footing.
