🏠 Domestic Home Support
🚗 Accessible Transport Services

🚐It’s CTWeek26! This week, we’re joining the Community Transport Association and communities across the UK to celebrate the difference Community Transport makes. 🚐

We know first-hand what a lifeline community transport can be to those less mobile or without their own transport.

This year’s theme is Driving Communities Forward, so we are shining a light on our drivers, volunteers, and staff who help our charity to keep people connected, independent and involved in their community.

Our accessible minibus and WAV (wheelchair accessible vehicle), plus volunteer driver runs in their own cars, provide access to healthcare, social activities, shopping and essential local services.

We are so very proud to host our own community transport scheme - it is the glue that keeps our community together!

Interested in joining our community transport volunteer team? For more info call 0115 9491175 or email [email protected].
