The double-decker is to be fitted with a kitchen, toilet and a compartment for passengers’ dogs to rest, reported WalesOnline.

David was reportedly inspired by the Helping Open People’s Eyes (HOPE) appeal.

“The bus is going to have a complete shower unit, kitchen, TV and everything you can possibility think of,” said David.

“It’s going to be amazing when it’s done, everyone will be so shocked.

“They will have compartments for their dog on the bus as well – the dog deserves a home as well.

“The buses will go on a rota and will head to Swansea, Carmarthen and Bridgend and will feed 12 to 15 people. We have had an excellent response so far.

“We have raised £8,000 in six weeks and so we are now trying to raise another £4,500 to buy another bus,” he said.
