Island Energies vehicle donation supports Red Cross transport service in Limassol

Limassol, Cyprus. Island Energies has donated a vehicle to the Cyprus Red Cross – Limassol Branch for a transport initiative that, according to the official announcement, has provided 264 journeys for people experiencing mobility difficulties since July 2026.

Transport to healthcare and community activities

The announcement said the service is available throughout Limassol to residents with mobility or intellectual difficulties who do not have suitable transport. It helps people across the district reach healthcare services and other important destinations while retaining their independence.

Journeys include visits to hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centres and doctors’ surgeries, alongside attendance at social events and travel to other essential destinations. An accompanying person can travel with passengers when needed.

The programme addresses transport barriers that can prevent people with mobility challenges from attending medical appointments, receiving rehabilitation or accessing essential services.

Partners recognised at official launch

Although journeys began in July, the formal launch took place on October 14 at a ceremony held at the Red Cross premises in Limassol. The event recognised the contributions made by Island Energies and the Stelios Philanthropic Foundation.

Island Energies, a maritime and energy group based in Limassol and previously named Island Oil, supplied the vehicle for daily use. The Stelios Philanthropic Foundation funds the running costs, enabling continued assistance for residents unable to travel independently.

The donation extends the company’s longstanding cooperation with the Cyprus Red Cross.

Company outlines its support

In its launch statement, Island Energies expressed pride in backing initiatives with a meaningful, direct effect on daily life and in helping build a community that is more accessible and inclusive.

The company thanked the Limassol branch of the Cyprus Red Cross for its ongoing work and acknowledged the Stelios Philanthropic Foundation’s contribution.

Addressing the launch, Island Energies chief executive Chrysostomos Papavassiliou stressed the group’s commitment to corporate responsibility. He said its backing for the programme reflected efforts to respond to practical needs in society.
