A Clydebank teenager uses the Young Person’s Free Bus Travel scheme to travel and help people affected by cancer.

Abdulmuiz Adarangio, an 18-year-old volunteer with Beatson Cancer Charity, first spotted their yellow-wrapped bus while he was on his way to school.

The teenager, who moved to Clydebank from Lagos, Nigeria, just over a year ago, has been with the charity ever since.

The bus was donated by First Bus to raise awareness about Beatson.

He said: "I love volunteering because it helps me meet a lot of people. It gives me a sense of connection and this good feeling inside.

"Volunteering has helped me build my confidence and give me a sense of belonging - it’s helped me feel more settled in Scotland."

His roles include working as a barista in Beatson's cafe, serving teas and coffees to those undergoing treatment and their loved ones.

He also participates in Beatson's bucket collections across Glasgow, gathering donations that contribute to the charity's mission to ensure no one faces cancer alone.

Abdulmuiz said: "Without the bus, I wouldn’t be able to come down to fulfil my volunteering duties.

"The bus is easy to use because I’ve got the First Bus app which I use to check timings and navigations.

"The best part is it’s free because I’ve got my Young Person’s bus pass."

Marlyn Hosie, volunteer manager from Beatson Cancer Charity, said: "Volunteers like Abdulmuiz are at the heart of what we do.

"Their kindness, generosity and spirit embody everything that Beatson represents and we’re so grateful to everyone who donates their time to help us support those experiencing cancer.

“Abdulmuiz’s story shows the real-world impact of our partnership with First Bus.

"Something as simple as spotting our branded bus out in the streets resulted in him signing up as a volunteer and he’s since become a key member of our café team, brightening up the days of the people we work with, as well as their family members and loved ones.”
