Our Volunteering opportunities
We have a wide range of volunteering opportunities available from Car driving to website editing…
As a Driver in our Volunteer Car Scheme
Our Volunteer Car Service is dependent entirely on volunteers. Our small team use their own cars to collect people from their homes and take them to medical appointments, shopping, or whatever service is needed.
For many of the users of this service, it is the only way they can reach hospitals, doctors, dentists and other essential everyday services.
If you enjoy driving, have your own car and would like to spend some time meeting new people and travelling the area, why not join us? All travelling expenses are paid at 45p per mile and you only take on the journeys you want to do. More information about our car schemes.
