We are looking for volunteer drivers to pick up and drive clients in the Mid Canterbury district who don't live in Ashburton, but need to come to Ashburton for appointments, shopping, or social activities.
Our vehicle is based in Ashburton. The rostered driver collects the vehicle and drives to the clients' location to pick them up and bring them to Ashburton. The driver takes the clients wherever they want to go and when all has been done, drives them back home again. The vehicle is then returned to its Ashburton parking location outside the Safer Mid Canterbury offices.
This is an on-demand service, operating Monday to Friday between 9:00 am and 4:30 pm.

Sadly, we have lost a wonderful trustee and our first volunteer driver for the Connector Service. KEVIN SISSON passed away at home on Monday, 1st December. He contributed greatly to the success of the Mid Canterbury Connector – as a driver, as a trustee and as a supporter. His generous and tireless giving of his time, his knowledge and his financial support has been greatly appreciated and will live on in the years to come as the Connector Service grows. A memorial service for Kevin will be held at the Rakaia Golf Club, Acton Road, Rakaia, on Monday, December 8, commencing at 1.30pm.
