🌟 It’s Community Transport Week 2026 ! 🌟

A chance to celebrate the amazing people and organisations that keep communities connected in Wiltshire and Swindon.

This year’s theme is Driving Communities Forward and aims to shine a spotlight on the volunteers, drivers and transport groups (including Link Schemes and Community Minibus Groups) who provide safe and reliable transport to help people access healthcare appointments and other essential services, so they can remain connected, independent and involved in their local communities.

A huge thank you to all of the amazing Link and Community Minibus Volunteer Drivers and Coordinators who make this possible every day. 💚

If you are interested in giving back to your community and making a real difference as a volunteer with your local transport service, we would love to hear from you! Get in touch at [email protected] to find out more.
