Run by a team of volunteers
We are a team of volunteers serving local differently-abled and aged people who cannot drive or use regular transport services. All our volunteers are highly motivated and experienced. We have been providing this service for 6 years.
It is advisable to provide us with as much notice as possible as we are extremely busy and may not always be able to accommodate you. Medical journeys ALWAYS take priority over social requests.
