The story

A bus built for a cause

This bus started life as a Stagecoach vehicle donated to Solutions4Living, a charity supporting people facing homelessness. Its next owner Dan Atkins converted it entirely and sold it on eBay with all proceeds going back to the cause. It was described at the time as "the most beautiful bus conversion in the world".

Simon Williams and Roddy Norris purchased the bus, with a total investment of £100,000 covering the purchase, the renovation and the art commission. The name Partnerships Community reflects every person and organisation that has been part of the journey.

What's inside

Two floors. Four adults.
Every detail considered.

A kitchen that would hold its own in a good flat. A master bedroom that runs the full length of the bus. A shower room with brass fittings. This isn't a novelty — it's proper accommodation with character.

Top deck master bedroom

King-size bed running the full length of the bus. Panoramic windows on both sides. Reclaimed timber panelling throughout.

Lower deck bedroom

A double bed that pulls out from the sofa at the back of the bus. Warm ambient lighting and rich olive green walls.

Full kitchen

Oven, induction hob, American-style fridge freezer with water dispenser, white quartz worktops and black mixer tap.

Shower room

Dark stone-effect walls, brass fittings, overhead and handheld shower, vanity sink and full-size mirror.

Open-plan lounge

Wall-mounted Samsung TV. Comfortable seating. Converts to a second double bed for additional guests.

Storage

Engine bay converted into lit, spacious under-stair storage. Custom cabinetry throughout both decks.

National press

"The most beautiful bus conversion in the world"

— The Independent

The bus was covered nationally before we even renamed it. When the ABBOTZ exterior wrap is complete, it will attract considerably more attention.

The art commission

An ABBOTZ exterior wrap

We've commissioned London street artist ABBOTZ to create a full exterior wrap for the bus. The concept — "Multi Colour Fill Bus" — gives a clear sense of what's coming. Bold, colourful and completely impossible to ignore.

When it's done Partnerships Community will be a destination in its own right. Sites that host it get to be part of that story. Guests will photograph it, share it and come back to see what's changed.

The opportunity

What we're looking for

We need the right site — glamping, holiday park, farm, festival ground or anything in between. One pitch with utility hook-ups. A long-term partnership, not a short-term trial.

What you provide	What we provide	Commercial structure
A pitch on your land	The bus, fully fitted	Pitch fee — fixed monthly
Electric hook-up	£100k total investment asset	Revenue share on bookings
Water and waste connections	Transport to site at our cost	Booking management fee
Long-term commitment	Maintenance and upkeep	Or any combination of these

Comparable converted buses on Canopy and Stars are currently achieving £150 to £300 a night in peak season. At 50% annual occupancy that's a meaningful new revenue line from a single pitch — before the ABBOTZ wrap drives further attention.

Get in touch

Let's have a conversation

We're not looking for a landlord. We want a partner who sees what this could become. If that sounds like you, we'd love 15 minutes of your time.
