“working
to improve the quality of life of those in need of care, comfort and support
in our community”
Each week, our dedicated army of volunteer drivers take between forty and fifty local people to appointments - whether at the doctor's, hospital or clinic, or the hairdressers', or even to get their shopping. It's a service that our clients value highly; the drivers show them kindness, patience and helpfulness that makes a real difference in addition to the practical matter of getting from A to B and back again.
We encourage our transport clients to contribute towards costs, as it's expensive to run - but we don't turn people away who can't afford to do so. Access to the service is normally by a referral from the GP, Social Worker or Care Manager. If you would like more information please call Mary Hutchings, our Volunteer Co-ordinator.
