Our Trust aims to make a difference to the local communities that our Moto sites are part of. Moto operates 48 service areas around the UK, employing around over 5,000 staff.

Since 2005, the Moto in the Community Trust has been supporting various local, national and international charities by raising money at Moto sites nationwide and giving this back to our communities through grants. Moto people also give their time and skills by volunteering within their communities and in the good causes that mean a lot to them. Projects supported by Moto in the Community include local schools, sports clubs, community groups, the elderly, education and environmental initiatives. Since the Trust was launched in 2005, Moto in the Community has raised over a million pounds for charities and good causes.

The Moto in the Community Trust is a grant making trust which spends time listening to feedback from Moto People about the communities they live in, and looking at opportunities for the Trust to provide support that will make a real impact on community life.
