Case Study: Supporting Little Lifts with Tailored Vehicle Leasing Solutions

In 2019, Busseys Vehicle Leasing had the privilege of working with Little Lifts, a charity committed to delivering essential care packages to breast cancer patients across East Anglia. As the charity grew and their demand for deliveries increased, Little Lifts reached out to us for a reliable and efficient vehicle solution to help meet their operational needs.

At that time, they needed a vehicle that could accommodate the volume of deliveries while remaining reliable for frequent use. After discussing their requirements, we delivered a brand-new Transit Courier van to Little Lifts in October 2019. This was the beginning of a long-term partnership. Little Lifts proudly displayed our Busseys Vehicle Leasing logo on their van, which they affectionately named ‘Joy’. In return, we pledged a donation from our charity pot to further support the vital work the charity was doing.

A Tailored Business Vehicle Leasing Solution

When Little Lifts first approached us, they were unsure about which vehicle would best meet their operational needs. Our team provided expert, tailored advice to help them navigate their options and choose the perfect vehicle for their charity. We took the time to fully understand their day-to-day activities, including the size of their deliveries and the frequency of their journeys, to ensure they had the right vehicle to support their mission.

The Transit Courier van we recommended was an ideal fit. It provided the necessary space for the deliveries while being compact enough to navigate the busy streets of East Anglia. Additionally, we included a full-maintenance package as part of the package, which meant that Little Lifts could rest easy knowing their vehicle would always be in top condition. They no longer had to worry about any unexpected repair or maintenance issues—they could focus entirely on their important work.

With our full-maintenance package, we handled the routine servicing, repairs, and all other aspects of vehicle upkeep. This ensured the van remained reliable and in excellent condition, without causing any disruptions to Little Lifts’ delivery schedule. Our comprehensive approach to business vehicle leasing allowed the charity to maintain operational efficiency and concentrate on what really mattered: delivering essential gift boxes to those in need.

Ongoing Support and Partnership

The relationship between Little Lifts and Busseys Vehicle Leasing goes beyond just providing a vehicle. We pride ourselves on offering a full range of services that make managing a leased vehicle as seamless as possible. From regular maintenance checks to answering any questions Little Lifts had along the way, we provided continuous support, ensuring they could operate with confidence and peace of mind.

Little Lifts quickly realised the benefits of our contract vehicle leasing solutions. With a reliable van on the road, they were able to increase their delivery capacity and expand their reach. Thanks to our ongoing support, Little Lifts recently celebrated the milestone of delivering over 20,000 gift boxes to breast cancer patients across the UK.

As the charity continued to grow, it became clear that they needed a larger vehicle to handle even more deliveries. With the success of the original van and the trust that had developed between us, Little Lifts came back to us when it was time to renew their lease. This time, they opted for a larger Ford Transit Custom van to meet their expanding needs.

A New Vehicle and Donation to Support Their Cause

In October 2024, I had the pleasure of personally delivering their new Transit Custom van. Along with the new vehicle, I was also able to present a cheque for £750 as a donation from Busseys Vehicle Leasing, as part of our ongoing commitment to supporting charitable causes. This donation was earmarked to help Little Lifts continue their invaluable work, ensuring they could keep providing their vital service to those affected by breast cancer.
