Webfleet, Bridgestone’s globally trusted fleet management platform, has joined the Charity Fleet Alliance, offering innovative solutions to help charities cut costs, boost efficiency and drive sustainability across their vehicle fleets.
The Charity Fleet Alliance, a pioneering initiative from Charity Fleetcare, brings together fleet suppliers and charity organisations with the shared mission of optimising fleet management practices for the non-profit sector.
By joining the alliance, Webfleet aims to furnish charities with the tools and expertise needed to reduce costs, improve operational efficiency and boost fleet sustainability, notably by supporting their transition to electric vehicles.
“Fleet management can be a significant challenge for charities, especially when balancing tight budgets and striving to meet sustainability objectives,” said Beverley Wise, Webfleet Regional Director for Bridgestone Mobility Solutions.
“Our goal is to equip charity fleets with the tools they need to drive efficiency, reduce carbon emissions and maintain safe operations – all while focusing on their core mission of helping others.
“This initiative reflects our long-standing commitment to supporting organisations that are making a real difference.”
With Webfleet, charity fleets will gain access to real-time data insights that can empower them to make smarter, more sustainable decisions. The partnership aligns with Bridgestone’s broader commitment to deliver a positive social and environmental impact.
The Charity Fleet Alliance is a collaborative network that leverages collective buying power to secure better procurement terms from vehicle suppliers, lease finance firms, and associated fleet service providers. It provides charities and not-for-profits in the UK with cost-effective, pre-vetted fleet management solutions that streamline procurement and enhance operational efficiency.
The Alliance was founded by several key suppliers, including Arnold Clark, Renault, Motus Group, Maxus, Fleet Alliance, Central Contracts and Dave Fishwick Motors. Founder members include the Charity Retail Association, Community Transport Association, Reuse Network, RNLI, Scope, Air Ambulance Service, The Children’s Society, Crest and Too Good to Waste.
“Charities often spend significant time and resources on fleet maintenance, compliance and costs,” said Andrew Deeley, Chairman of Charity Fleetcare.
“The Charity Fleet Alliance was created to address these burdens, offering tailored, collaborative solutions. By providing strategic insights and operational improvements, our mission is to empower charities and turn their fleets into assets, allowing them to reinvest savings into their causes and drive deeper, lasting impact.
“I’m proud to working with the likes of Webfleet on an initiative that will truly make a difference.”
As part of this collaboration, Webfleet will also provide charities with access to sustainability expertise, helping them minimise their environmental footprint and embrace the shift towards electric vehicle (EV) adoption.
